This paper aims at determining the stress-transfer capabilities of reinforced concrete (RC) cracks and interfaces by adopting proper constitutive laws for aggregate interlock and dowel action mechanisms. The framework of the Contact Density Model, which was developed in earlier research, is adopted for aggregate interlock. The original assumptions are enhanced and modified using the available experimental data and also by introducing four new parameters for both normal- and high-strength concrete. The proposed contact density function considers crack roughness and is probabilistically idealized according to concrete strength, aggregate size, crack width, and asperity degradation in a unified manner.
