• Data to design a rebar according to the “Anchor theory” cannot be used to design a rebar according
to the “Rebar theory” without numerical and experimental investigations (data cannot be mixed up

• The minimum edge distance to avoid splitting in the installation phase (according to the anchor approval)
Anchor cannot be considered as the minimum edge distance to avoid splitting in the loading phase in case of “Rebar
Theory theory” design (EC2 approach).
• “Rebar theory” can be considered as a special case of “Anchor theory” where concrete cone failure is
excluded by struts.
• Data from the ICC approval cannot be used in the EC2 design approach.
EC2 vs. • The ICC approval takes into account the ACI design approach which is different from the EC2 design
ACI code approach (for instance the anchorage length according to the ACI is not direct function of the bond strength
(ACI 25.4.2.3a)).

Note:
The effect of the concrete cover (edge distance and spacing) is not taken into account in the BS 8110.
The consequence could be a splitting failure mode before the design loading capacity is reached.

For ETA qualified mortars used as post-installed
rebar the embedment is calculated as cast-in (1/7)
• The basic embedment as per Eurocode 2 (EN 1992) is defined
according to the following expression.
∅ 𝜎𝑠𝑑
𝑙𝑏,𝑟𝑞𝑑 = ∙
4 𝑓𝑏𝑑
𝑓𝑏𝑑 ∅
Concrete “bond” that can
be developed in the bar
@ closest edge distance
Note: this expression is easily validated by the equilibrium between action and the reaction
𝑙𝑜 = 𝑙𝑏,𝑟𝑞𝑑 ∙ 𝛼1 ∙ 𝛼2 ∙ 𝛼3 ∙ 𝛼4 ∙ 𝛼5 ∙ 𝛼6
𝛼6 = (ρ1/25)0.5 but between 1.0 and
1.5, where ρ1 is the % of
reinforcement lapped within 0.65𝑙𝑜
from the center of the lap.
