Thanks Agent666. Let's say I have a concrete beam that sits on top of a retaining wall. The concrete beam has stirrups and I continue the longitudinal reinforcement of the beam and embed it into the top of the concrete wall. Could I use that traverse reinforcement (stirrups in the beam) to...
Thanks KootK. So basically the member that receives the incoming development length doesn't really have an effect on development length except the available embed that it can provide (such as width of a wall) and whether or not a hook is required.
Have a great rest of your weekend!
Thanks KootK. If I were able to use the development reduction that is a ratio of the As,req/As,provided, this would also be based on the flexural reinforcement of the beam, correct?
Similarly, if I have a retaining wall where the vertical reinforcement of the stem gets embedded into the...
Hi,
Let's say you have a concrete beam that hangs off the side of a concrete column. For the rebars that extend from the beam and into the column, I need to calculate the development length. Based on the equation for development length (ACI 318-14 Chapter 25: Section 24.4.2.3), there are...
Per ASCE 7-10 Sect 12.3.3.4 for horizontal irregularity type 4 (offset shear wall from floor to floor), there is a 25% increase in the connection of the diaphragm to the vertical element/collector. I'm looking at this SKGosh article, and it says that you increase the force by 25% for the...
