The scope of my work is just to provide the capacity of the pedestals given dimensions and reinforcing details. This are pedstals for misc. piping and equipment supports, btw.
I was just unsure if this type of pedestal is applicable for the reduction of development length as per ACI. As per...
I have very short pedestals (on-pave) . Some having height of only 6". Is the reduction for devolpment length applicable to the development of the rebars towards the pedestal?
For example, #5 rebar requires ld = is 14" but available ld is only 6" - 2.5" (concrete cover) = 3.5".
