See the relevant chapters in BS8110 (concrete) and BS8007 (water retaining structures).
Also you can download Excel spreadsheets which contain crack calculation software amongst many others (www.structural-engineering.fs.net.co.uk and www.rcc-info.org.uk)
For general R.C structures, we adopt 0.3mm maximum width while for water retaining structures 0.1mm and 0.2mm may be used as the limiting value, depending on the importance of the structure/finishes etc.
