Anchorage bond
3
Reinforcing bars are mostly subject to tension.

The bars must be firmly anchored not to be pulled out of the concrete.
Anchorage depends on:
the bond between the bar and the concrete,
The area of contact; and
Whether or not the bar is located in a region where good bond
conditions can be expected.

 Basic anchorage length

 The derived equation may be used to determine the basic anchorage length
which are either in tension or compression.
 For calculation of anchorage lengths, design value of ultimate anchorage bond
stresses are specified according to whether the bond conditions are good or
otherwise.
Anchorage bond

 Good bond conditions are considered to be when a bar are inclined at an

angle of between 45 and 90 to the horizontal or b Zero to 45 provided that
additional requirements are met.
 These additional requirements are that bars are:
 1. either placed in members whose depth in the direction of concreting does
not exceed 250mm or
 2. embedded in members with a depth greater than 250mm and either in the
lower 250mm of the member or at least 300mm from the top surface when
the depth exceeds 600mm.
Design anchorage length

10  The basic anchorage length discussed above must be further modified to give
the minimum design anchorage length taking into account factors not
covered by the formula derived
 .

longitudinal bars with good bond conditions. The concrete class of the

Laps in reinforcement
12
 Lapping of reinforcement is often necessary to transfer the forces

from one bar to another.
 Laps between bars should be staggered and should not occur in
regions of high stress.
 The length of the lap should be based on the minimum anchorage
length modified to take into account factors such as cover.

18 Principle of Superposition
 Principle of superposition asserts that the resultant stress or stain in a system

subjected to several forces is the algebraic sum of their effects when
applied separately.
 This is true only if each strain is directly or linearly related to the stress
causing it.
 strains in most situations are small hence permitting application of principle
of superposition.
Eccentricity
 Where would you expend more energy, carrying a 50kg load or a 40kg
load?

Principles of prestressed concrete design

20
 consider members subjected to an axial force 𝑁, and a bending moment 𝑀. The

strains on a unit length of the member are shown below where:
 𝑁 –causes strains in direction parallel to the beam longitudinal axis.
 𝑀 –cause strains in a plane section to rotate.

Tendon profiles
22
Pretensioned prestressed concrete members have straight tendons

since the tension in the cable is applied before the concrete is cast.
Post-tensioned prestressed concrete members have curved tendon

profiles. The curve of the profile loosely follows the shape of the
bending moment diagram.
