Referring to Fig RD.5.2.9 of ACI 318-11. It shows that Anchor Reinforcement must be developed on both sides of the breakout plane. Assume you have plenty of dev. underneath the breakout cone, and provide Ldh above the breakout cone, do you have to be concerned with Lh above the breakout cone for each leg?
For example if you are using #6 U-bar, they require a Lh of 12". Do these legs need to be spaced 24"? Or by using a U-bar are the just assumed to be fully developed for Lh? See the attached image for what I'm talking about.
