  This function is to calculate the reinforcement required for limiting crack widths caused by
   volume change due to thermal changes.

  CT = 5 x 10-6 / F

  Assume: wood formworks are provided at four sides of slab.

  Default Heat of Hydration in 28 days (HH):
    cement I,   87 Calories/gm;   cement II,   76 Calories/gm
    cement III,   105 Calories/gm;   cement IV,   60 Calories/gm

  Default Cement Fineness (CF):
    cement I,   1790 cm2/gm;   cement II,   1890 cm2/gm
    cement III,   2030 cm2/gm;   cement IV,   1910 cm2/gm

     F = 1.6 C + 32
