Corner Bars In Elevated Concrete Beams
Corner Bars In Elevated Concrete Beams
(OP)
Should corner bars be used in elevated concrete beams? I typically use 2-24"x24" corner bars in grade beams with diameters to match the longitudinal reinforcing. Should I use similar bars in elevated beams? My elevated beams have top bars that terminate with a standard hook and bottom bars that terminate without a hook.

Per your comment about bottom bars not being hooked into the support - see ACI 318 section 7.13.2.2.(b)
