Anchorage of tension reinforcement

Anchorage of tension reinforcement

Anchorage of tension reinforcement

(OP)
I have a square slab of 5m a side supported on the four sides on beams, the slab has a large circular opening at the centre of 4m to support a light dome. can the anchorage of the Tension bars (top bars)be assured by bending the tension bars in the form of L shape and planting them down along the depth of the supporting beams.

RE: Anchorage of tension reinforcement

Probably. Ideally, you'd want to develop the bars across the top of the beams. You're trying to cantilever your slabs out to the opening, right? Beams loaded in torsion?

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.

RE: Anchorage of tension reinforcement

There is not much slab left after the circular opening is taken out. Your perimeter beams can be 500 wide, then you just have sort of triangular bits of slab in each corner. A few diagonal bars should suffice.
