(Crack Opening) (Crack Opening) : Figure 8. Results Along A Beam With Continuity Figure 9. Results Along One Span Beam

This document discusses the results of an experiment analyzing crack development in continuous beams and single span beams. It found that crack development at free supports was about 45 degrees for both, but internal supports of continuous beams saw cracks develop over a broader range toward the middle of the span, up to 50% more than exterior supports. The cracks at internal supports also had more moderate angles to the beam axis. Further experimental testing is still needed.

Crack development direction at the free support zone
was hardly influenced by the conditions at the sec-
ond support of the span with continuity and stayed in
the order of 45 degrees.
However, development of cracks in internal support
zones, with flexural bending moments, stretched into
a broader range toward the middle of the span, even
up to 50% more than the exterior support range.
Those inclinations of the cracks were more moder-
ate, with smaller angles to the beam axis; consistent
with the described in Figure 3.
Quantitative determination requires experimental
testing, which will be later in this research, as it is
continued.
