ACI 318- Embedment plate & Rebar in place of Studs
ACI 318- Embedment plate & Rebar in place of Studs
(OP)
We are designing embedment plate (ACI 318 ) using rebar welded to plate. My queries are as below
1) Shall we design as per ACI 318 Chapter 17 ( Earlier Appendix D)
2) If so is it must that the re-bars to be either hooked or bent
3) If Embedment length is calculated based Table 25.4.2.2
Regards

- One popular approach is to use the appendix D provisions intended for post installed rebar which is not hooked (by definition I suppose). In that case, an additional check would be ensuring that your bars are developed for the force that you intend to transfer. If you can't achieve the necessary development over your developed length then hooks or end anchors may well help with that.
- HILTI's developed some pretty great software for rebar anchorage of this sort. You might look into the software and the theory behind it: Link. Europe seems to be taking the lead on this at the moment.
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.
