Anchoarage of corbel reinforcement
Anchoarage of corbel reinforcement
(OP)
I had a reviewing engineer question whether or not the As reinforcement was developed per ACI 318 section 11.8.6. Many of the precasters that I work for use the attached detail for corbels with the As reinforcement also being used as framing bars and terminating back into the column below the corbel. The argument is that this provides anchorage per 11.8.6 (c) “By some other means of positive anchorage,”

It seems to me that the top is adequately anchored back to the corbel on the other side.
The bottom doesn't need the anchorage does it?

In this case I did not want to weld the bars because they are epoxy coated which is why I change to #6. (ref. calculation per 12.5 in attachment to previous post)
Primarily what I was asking about is can you reduce the length of Ldh if you use a longer than “standard hook” length?
