Development of deformed bars
Development of deformed bars
(OP)
Can anyone please tell me at which point do you start measuring the "development length of a deformed bar"?
I mean most codes provide equations to calculate the develpment of deformed bars in tension and compression, but where do you start measuring it.

RE: Development of deformed bars
If, at any section, there is insufficient development length available, consider using a hook, or else your effective fy will equal (actual development length/required development length) times fy.
RE: Development of deformed bars
In general, for embedment length, the development length is measured from face of support to the end of the developed bar.
In flexural, it is measured from point of inflection where steel is no longer required technically.
