Tension Length Development

The beam shown in the figure below is designed

for moment, shear and torsion.
It is required to find out the followings:

1-Length development for top & bottom bars.

2- Length development if we use hook
90ο & 180ο .
3- Tension lap splices.

Use 𝑓𝑐` = 28 𝑀𝑃𝑎 & 𝑓𝑦 = 420 𝑀𝑃𝑎.

4db =4*20=80 mm >65 mm ok

Total length=390+80*2+80=630 mm

3- Tension lap splices.

Splices of deformed bars and deformed wire in Tension

Class A Splice ………. 1.0 Ld (must not be less than 300 mm).
Class B Splice ………. 1.3 Ld (must not be less than 300 mm).

Assume:
𝑨𝒔 (𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝)
< 2 and 100 percent of reinforcement will be spliced.
𝑨𝒔 (𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝)

Class B Splice ………. 1.3 Ld (must not be less than 300 mm).

Splice length for top reinforcement=1.3 * 664 = 863.2 𝑚𝑚 → 870 𝑚𝑚 (43.5𝑑𝑏 ).

Splice length for bottom reinforcement=1.3 * 675.2 = 878 𝑚𝑚 →

880 𝑚𝑚 (44 𝑑𝑏 ).
