Stair-landing reinforcing

Stair-landing reinforcing

RE: Stair-landing reinforcing

Your file would not open for me.

RE: Stair-landing reinforcing

There's a big benefit. If you used uninterrupted parallel bars, they'd pop out the bottom of the stair when the knuckle experienced opening (positive) moment.

The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.

RE: Stair-landing reinforcing

KootK has explained the major reason. Another reason is that concrete cover will be compromised due to the bend radius.

RE: Stair-landing reinforcing

I'd never considered the cover aspect before.

This won't apply directly here but I've seen typical details for parking ramps where parallel bars are allowed so long as the angular change is four degrees or less. I'm not sure if that's been verified rigorously somehow or if it's simply based on a lack of problems with past structures.
