THE FLEXURE AND SHEAR
11 DESIGN
(BRACKET)
OF CORBEL
11.1 INTRODUCTION
Corbel or bracket is a reinforced concrete member is a short-haunched cantilever used to support the
reinforced concrete beam element. Corbel is structural element to support the pre-cast structural
system such as pre-cast beam and pre-stressed beam. The corbel is cast monolithic with the column
element or wall element.
This chapter is describes the design procedure of corbel or bracket structure. Since the load from pre-
cast structural element is large then it is very important to make a good detailing in corbel.

where :

The strength reduction factor is taken 0.85 because the major action in corbel is dominated by shear.

From the last calculation we already find the shear friction reinforcement Avf, tension
reinforcement An and flexural reinforcement Af. We must calculate the primary tension
reinforcement As based on the above reinforcements.
