2CLMB55 is the beam i have question with.
Can beam 2CLMB55 anchor beyond support 2LMB72A and into another structural element, like the adjacent slab?

This is the beam key plan, it shows 2CLMB55 anchorage into the structural wall and 2LMB72A.

According to 2CLMB55 RC details,which only shows anchorage into wall, the anchorage length is 1650mm.

As the beam size of 2LMB72A is just 600*250, engineers usually ask for a U-bar that bends back into the beam to maintain sufficient anchorage length (shown in blue).
But I am wondering if I can proceed with the shop drawings based on the RC details without raising any questions.
There seems to be sufficient anchorage length into 2LMB72A plus the adjacent slab.

I am not sure if this is okay, as engineers always ask for the blue U-bar solution, and it is common practice to resolve spatial constraint problems.
I am working in Hong Kong as a newbie rebar detailer, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
