Embedement length - precast beam to slab

Thank you so much for your answer.
For clarification, the beam is precast, and slab is cast-in-place.
The bars that protude at the top of precast beam (please see attached figure above) resist the shear force that arises at the interace of the beam and slab.
They don't overlap with other bars.

I realized your answer is totally relevant with respect to the figure that I attached.
Sorry for the confusion.



 
I don't understand your attached figure. You say "protrude at the top", but your figure shows them across the web, extending into an intermediate or end diaphragm.

Ignoring the attached figure, what you're describing sounds like interface shear stirrups. Given the typically limited depth available in the slab, the interface shear reinforcement nearly always takes the form of loops extending into the CIP deck, with both ends anchored in the precast beam. This was discussed recently in this other thread.

I am sorry for the confusion.
Actually, I edited the figure, but somehow ended with the wrong one.
Also, thank you so much for your answer.
It is very helpful.
