End Returns & Footing Reinforcement
End Returns & Footing Reinforcement
(OP)
Are end returns only necessary for Temp/Shrink reinforcement in foundation design? If you have full development length for your flexural steel from the column face, there is no need to hook the bars right? Also, can you use the (As req'd/As provided) reduction factor on the development length for flexural steel?
Thanks in advance,

Seems like a question better suited to the Structural Engineering fora on engtips.com.
