I think the idea of providing minimum reinforcement for crack width control largely depends more on the bar spacings you use for the flexural reinforcements. I tried testing it before and the results show that closely spaced bars have lesser crack widths. So the idea is to provide enough for...
Based on the way these "blade columns" were used in the project, its dimensions were dictated by wall thickness requirement (limited to 250mm) and span of the flat slab it carries (along its major plane).
From the design we've made, the "blade columns" were checked for the amount of lateral...
I have been engaged in design of "blade columns", which is the term they used (probably an architect's term) for walls that were used for its thinner dimension compared to normal RC columns.
