DEVELOPMENT HOOK & REINFORCEMENTS

LENGTH, SPLICE OF

23.1 INTRODUCTION
The failure of the reinforced concrete structure commonly caused by incorrect reinforcements detail. Reinforcement detail includes the development length, hook (anchorage) and splice between reinforcements.

The strength of reinforcing bar is based on the bond strength between steel reinforcement and concrete material. Due to external load the bond stress between steel reinforcement and concrete can be exceeded and cause crushing and splitting of the surrounding concrete.

The followings are the major factors of the bond strength, as follows : Adhesion between concrete and steel reinforcement. Gripping effect from drying shrinkage of the surrounding concrete. Shear interlock of bar deformation and surrounding concrete. Concrete quality. Diameter of the steel reinforcement.

This chapter describes the analysis of development length, standard hook, development of flexural reinforcement, bar cut off and splice of reinforcements.

23.2 DEVELOPMENT OF BOND STRESS


23.2.1 GENERAL Bond stress is the primary result of the shear interlock between the steel reinforcement and surrounding concrete. Bond stress can be defined as local shearing stress per unit area of the bar surface. Three types of test can be used to determine the bond quality which is pull-out test, embedded rod test and beam test.

23.2.2

PULL OUT BOND

The pull out bond is determined based on the pull out force applied to the embedded steel reinforcement with prescribed embedded length. The pull out bond strength can be calculated based on the average bond stress , as follows : Tnb = (db )ld

[23.1]

syaiful_ashari@yahoo.com

where : Tnb db ld = bond strength of embedded reinforcement = average bond stress per unit area of bar surface = diameter of reinforcement = embedded length (development length)

The tensile force at the bar cross section is :

T=

1 2 db fs 4

[23.2]

where : T db fs = tensile force at bar cross section = diameter of reinforcement = stress of bar

The two variables above must be in static horizontal equilibrium, as follows :

(db )ld =

1 2 db fs 4

[23.3]

So the development length is derived as :

ld =

db fs 4

[23.4]

23.3 DEVELOPMENT LENGTH


23.3.1 GENERAL Development length is defined as minimum length of bar in which the bar stress can increase from zero to the yield strength. If the distance is less than the development length the bar will pull out the concrete. The development length is a function of yield stress, bar diameter and average bond stress at surrounding concrete.

23.3.2

BASIC DEVELOPMENT LENGTH

ACI code uses the concept of development length rather than average bond stress. The average bond stress is determined based on the test result and function of the concrete compressive strength.

Empirically the average bond stress is calculated, as follows :

fc db

= average bond stress per unit area of bar surface = concrete compressive strength = diameter of reinforcement

or can be simply written as :

= k f 'c

[23.6]

Rewritten the above condition we can obtain the basic development length, as follows :

(db )ld = A b fy k f 'c (db )ld = A b fy


ldb A b fy = k1 f' c

[23.7]

23.3.3

DEVELOPMENT LENGTH OF TENSION BAR

Original Development Length

The basic development length of tension bar is :


TABLE 23.1 DEVELOPMENT LENGTH OF TENSION BAR SI psi

ld = db

15fy c + K tr 16 f 'c d b

ld = db

3fy c + K tr 40 f 'c d b

c + K tr 1.5 d b

2. 5

The transverse reinforcement index is defined as :


TABLE 23.2 SI KTR psi

K tr =

A tr fyt 260sn

K tr =

A tr fyt 1500sn

where : Ktr Atr fyt = transverse reinforcement index = area of transverse reinforcement through the longitudinal bar being developed = yield strength of transverse reinforcement

Ktr can be used conservatively = 0.

The factor is bar location factor determined, as follows :


BAR LOCATION FACTOR LOCATION Horizontal reinforcement placed more than 12 (300 mm) fresh concrete Other Reinforcement 1.3 1.0

TABLE 23.3

The factor is coating factor determined, as follows :


COATING FACTOR COATING Epoxy coated bar with cover less than 3db / clear spacing less than 6db All epoxy coated bar Uncoated reinforcement 1.5 1.2 1.0

TABLE 23.4

The product of must not exceed 1.7.

The factor is bar size factor determined, as follows :


BAR SIZE FACTOR 0.8 1.0

TABLE 23.5 BAR SIZE < 20 mm > 25 mm

The c factor is spacing / cover dimension factor determined as the smaller of : Distance from center of bar to the nearest concrete surface. 0.5 of center to center spacing of the bar being developed.

C.

Simplified Development Length

For the design purpose the simplified development length formula is often used, as follows :
TABLE 23.6 SIMPLIFIED DEVELOPMENT LENGTH OF TENSION BAR PSI UNIT CASE NO. 6 (DEFORMED BAR) > NO. 7

Clear spacing of developed bar > db, stirrup not less than the code minimum requirement Clear spacing of developed bar > 2db, clear cover > db Other 3fy ld = db 50 f 'c 3fy ld = db 40 f 'c fy ld = db 25 f 'c fy ld = db 20 f 'c

The development length ld must be greater than 12 inch.

The development length ld must be greater than 300 mm. 23.3.4 DEVELOPMENT LENGTH OF COMPRESSION BAR

The development length for compression bar is shorter than in the tension bar, because there is no concrete cracking occurs.

The development length of compression bar is :

ld =

0.02fy db f 'c

0.0003 fy db

ld =

0.044 fy db

The development length of compression bar ld must be greater than 8 inch / 200 mm. 23.3.5 DEVELOPMENT LENGTH OF BUNDLED BAR

The development length of bundled bar either in tension or compression is greater than development
length of single bar, because the bundled bar reduce the surface area surrounding concrete.

If the development length above can not fit the depth of the member, the development length can be extended to full depth of member.

23.4 STANDARD HOOK


23.4.1 GENERAL

When the insufficient length can not be provided to develop a bar then the bar needed to be anchorage. Two type of standard hooks can be used which is 90o hook and 180o hook.

23.4.2

EMBEDMENT LENGTH OF HOOK

The hook development length is obtained from the basic development length for standard hook lhb
multiplied with factor.

The basic development length for standard hook is :

lhb =

The hook development length then calculated as follows : ldh = lhb

[23.9]

where : ldh lhb = hook development length = multiplier factor = basic development length of standard hook

23.5 DEVELOPMENT OF FLEXURAL REINFORCEMENT & CUT OFF POINT


23.5.1 GENERAL

Flexural reinforcement has different treatment of development length. The flexural reinforcement in one span may designed due to different value of bending moment so the reinforcement is different.

We have to determine the location where the bar can be cut and the development length from the point of maximum moment.

23.5.2 A.

DEVELOPMENT LENGTH OF FLEXURAL REINFORCEMENT General

The flexural reinforcements are designed using the maximum bending moment value such as at mid span (positive moment) and at support (negative moment). To ensure the full development the flexural reinforcement must be extended at least development length ld from the point of maximum
bending moment.

B.

Rules of Positive Moment Reinforcement

The followings are the rules of the development length of flexural reinforcement for positive moment, as follows : The reinforcement must be extended at least development length ld from the point of
maximum bending moment.

23 - 8

http://syaifulsipil96.blogspot.com/

syaiful_ashari@yahoo.com

In simple beam structure, at least 1/3 of positive moment reinforcement must be extended at
least 6 inch into support without bending.

In continuous beam, at least of positive moment reinforcement must be extended at least


6 inch into support without bending.

Interior continuous beam without closed stirrup, at least of positive moment reinforcement shall be spliced with spliced class A.

C.

Rules of Negative Moment Reinforcement

The followings are the rules of the development length of flexural reinforcement for negative moment, as follows : The reinforcement must be extended at least development length ld from the point of
maximum bending moment.

Negative moment reinforcement must be anchored to the supporting column or member. At least 1/3 of total reinforcement for negative moment must be extended beyond the
inflection point > d or 12 db or 1/16 of clear span the larger value is taken.

23.5.3 A.

BAR CUT OFF POINT General

The critical location of the flexural reinforcement is where there is rapid drop in the bending moment
such as inflection point (zero moment). To ensure the full development length the flexural

reinforcement must be extended beyond the inflection point with a distance 12db or d which is
greater.

B.

Rules for All Reinforcements

The followings are the rules of the bar cut off for all reinforcements, as follows : Bars must be extended d or 12 db beyond the theoretical flexural cut off points except at support / end of cantilever. Bars must be extended ld from the theoretical flexural cut off point of adjacent bar.

23.6 SPLICE OF REINFORCEMENTS


23.6.1 GENERAL

The bars are produced in standard length so sometime it is needed to be spliced. The splice of the reinforcement must ensure that it can develop yield stress along the splice length.

There are three types of splice, as follows :


Lap Splice, lapping of two bars with determined splice length (< bar No. 11). Mechanical Connecting, splice of reinforcement using the connector / coupler. Welding, splice by weld the two reinforcements (> bar No. 11). 23.6.2 LAP SPLICE OF TENSION BAR

There are two types of lap splice of tension bar according to ACI code, as follows :
Class A. Class B.

The splice length of splice class A is : ls = 1.0ld 12"

[23.10]

where : ls ld = splice length = development length

syaiful_ashari@yahoo.com

The splice length of splice class B is : ls = 1.3ld 12"

[23.11]

where : ls ld = splice length = development length

The following table shows the conditions of tension lap splice, as follows :

ls 0.07 fy db

ls 0.0009fy 24 db

ls 0.13fy 24 db

23.7 DETAIL OF REINFORCEMENTS


23.7.1 GENERAL

The most important thing in the reinforced concrete structure is the reinforcement detail. After the reinforced concrete member is analyzed and designed a structural engineer must make a
reinforcement detail, splice of reinforcement, bar bending schedule because the engineer is the

only person who knows the location of critical section of the member, these information then used by the contractor when they build the structure.

23.7.2 A.

SPACING LIMITS General

For ensure the workability of the concrete the spacing of the reinforcement must be limited so the spacing is not o small compared to the size of the coarse aggregate.
