Development Length circular beam
Development Length circular beam
(OP)
Can someone let me know where I can find the development length of this bent stirrup or what it can be and how did you calculate it. I am using ACI 318-14. I am not able to find the section. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

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.

Depending on the proportions of your beam, I'd be tempted to just reinforce it with a square cage.
If your beam is uniaxially loaded and not acted upon by significant torsion, I suppose you could use an open, circular stirrup extending up to at least 0.85 d and hooked inwards. That way you could drop flexural bars in from the top if desired.
