I am struggling to find a good way to place the reinforcement in a pedestal with cantilevered beams protruding in all directions. I am running into a problem when I try to bring the top steel in the beam to the far side of the column to get proper development. All of the steel is intersecting at the center of the column making it impossible to place properly. I can stop the steel short and hook it down before they interfere but I am not comfortable with this even though they would hook down inside of the column reinforcement.
Is there a recommended detail for conditions such as this? Is it acceptable to bring the steel down on the front side of the column as long as it is encased by the column steel? I would greatly appreciate any thoughts you all may have.
