A practical method for curtailment is as follows:Determine where the bar can be curtailed based on bending moment alone; and anchor this bar beyond this location for a distance lbd+a1, […]
EK703
In determining the location when a bar is no longer required, force in bars should be calculated taking into account the bending moment and the effect of truss model for […]
EK692
In precast concrete construction ties may be provided wholly within in-situ concrete toppings or connections partly within in-situ concrete and partly within precast members or wholly within precast members but […]
EK677
If the bar is fully utilised for tension, it cannot contribute to the shear resistance due to dowel action.
EK544
The distribution and magnitude of bond stresses along a bar are difficult to establish quantitatively. One problem is the progressive shifting of the bond distribution along the bar as bond […]
EK543
When the pull on the bar is small, high stresses develop near the loaded end of the bar; some slip of the bar occurs as adhesion between the bar and […]
EK542
Growth of splitting cracks is restrained more effectively when transversereinforcement is placed close to the surface of the bar.
EK540
Passive confinement refers to compressive stress fields that aregenerated by forces in the mild reinforcement surrounding the anchorage zone of the bar.
EK531
When a ring in the concrete surrounding the bar is stressed to rupture, it breaks and longitudinal (splitting) cracks appear on the concrete surface.
EK530
Radial components of the bond forces are resisted by tensile stress rings in the concrete surrounding the bar.
EK280
A hook is used at the end of a bar when its straight embedment length is less than the necessary development length. Thus the full capacity of the bar can […]
