ACI regarding excess reinforcement & development length
ACI regarding excess reinforcement & development length
(OP)
In the chapter on development length of ACI 318, it discusses when the development length can be reduced if the reinforcement in a flexural member is in excess of what is required by analysis (except for where the anchor development for the full Fy is required, etc). If I understand right, does this say the calculated development length can be reduced up to a factor of As,req/As,provided ? That's how I read it, but want to double-check.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
