Hello Dear Engineers,
How would you detail the following? What would you consider? Slab thickness is 6". Hook Bar is 28mm (suggested by Architect). 3 ton load for each hook.
What comes to my mind is, I need to develop the hook rods sufficiently. For 3 ton (6 kips) loads, each leg of a hook will take factored force of (6kips/2*1.6 factor) =4.8 kips. For a 28mm bar having area 0.95 sq.in, the stress is 5.05 ksi. If the development length required to develop full tension (60 ksi) is 55" (approx), to develop 5.05 ksi I can provide 5.05*55/60 = 4.63" = 5".
I think the slab won't punch since the load transfer will be in-plane for the slab through the horizontal bar developed.
A pdf file is also attached for clear view.
Thanks.
