Instead of replacing the original ATIR strap, supplement it with a installed perpendicular across the crack.
to model, analyze, and mitigate cracking in new beams. While some cracking is expected in RC members, "new" cracks must be evaluated to ensure they do not exceed allowable limits (typically 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm depending on environmental exposure). 2.

ATIR strap and beam systems consist of a reinforced insulated strap and beam designed to provide structural support to buildings while minimizing thermal bridging. The system typically comprises a steel strap embedded in a foam insulation core, which is then wrapped in a reinforced composite material. This design allows for high compressive strength, low thermal conductivity, and ease of installation. Instead of replacing the original ATIR strap, supplement
