Reinforced Concrete Design

Calculate the development length that provide the safety to the structure which is in the tension.
Diameter of the various sizes is given as follow: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 32.
Solution

f c 25MPa

f y 390MPa

1 (For normal-weight concrete)
Assume:
spacingcenter = 100mm
covercenter = 40+10+8=58mm
Development length for tension bars:
fy t e s
ld max{( db , 300mm}
1.1 f c ( cb Ktr )
db

For safety condition,

t 1.3

e 1.5
s 0.8 (For No. 19mm and smaller bars)

s 1 (For No. 22mm and larger bars)
t . e 1.95 t . e 1.7
cb Ktr
2.5 (To prevent a pull-out failure)
db
Ktr 0

cb = min(covercenter ; spacing center ) = min(58mm ; 150mm) 58mm
