jd * Elastic crack equation
Both of adhesion and friction are quickly lost when the bar is
loaded in tension, particularly because the diameter of the bar
decreases slightly, due to Poissons ratio.
Eventually, the concrete will split parallel to the bar, and crack will
propagate to the surface of beam.
Bond Failures
Splitting
Splitting comes from wedging action when the ribs of the deformed bars bear
against the concrete.
Splitting in vertical plane
Splitting in horizontal plane: frequently begins at a diagonal crack in connection
with dowel action. Shear and bond failures are often interrelated.
Development Length
Development length is the length of embedment necessary to develop the full tensile
strength of bar, controlled by either pullout or splitting.
The development length l d , is the shortest length of bar in which the bar stress can
increase from zero to the yield strength fy

Development length concept total tension force must be transferred from the bar to the
concrete in the distance l by bond stress on the surface.
To fully develop the strength of bar T = Asfy the distance l must be equal to l d =
development length
Safety against bond failure: the length of the bar from any point of given steel stress
to its nearby end must be at least equal to its development length. If the length is
inadequate, special anchorage such as hooks must be provided.

In cases where headed bars do not
meet the requirements specified or
where bars are terminated by
mechanisms such as welded plates or
other manufactured devices, ACI C
allows such devices to be used to
develop the reinforcement if the
adequacy of the devices is established
by tests.
Example
Development of hooked bars in tension. Referring to the beam-column joint shown,
No. 11 (No. 36) negative bars are to be extended into the column and terminated in a
standard 90 hook, keeping 2 in. clear to the outside face of the column. The column
width in the direction of beam width is 16 in. Find the minimum length of embedment of
the hook past the column face, and specify the hook details

It is necessary to consider whenever the moments over the development length are
greater than those corresponding to a linear reduction to zero.
Bond force per unit length , u = dT / dx = dM / zdx, proportional to the slope of the
moment diagram.
Maximum bond forces u would occur at point of inflection and pullout resistance is
required.
Slope of M diagram at any point = V at that point
Let Mn = nominal flexural
strength provided by those
bars extend to the
point of inflection.

The ACI code gives simplified versions of eqn 5.4 for preselected
values of (c + Ktr) / db. However, the development length l d computed
by eqn 5.4 is mostly substantially shorter than development length
computed from simplified eqns.
