for close ties with ends bent at 135 degrees, what if the ends are shorter and don't have the required ten times diameter? how serious is this in your experience and would it open during seismic activity? what standard or development length do you use for the ends (for example 10x bar diameter or shorter)?
 
Very serious. Stick to the recommended development length.
