![]() Design Bond Stress in Limit State Method M20 M25 M30 M35 M40 and above – Concrete Grade 1.2 1.4 1.5 1.7 1.9 For Plain Bars in Tension Design Bond Stress (Ϯ bd,N/mm2) 1.92 2.24 2.4 2.72 3.04 For deformed bars in tension This design bond stress are different for limit state design method and for working stress method as reproduced below: So as a guide I’ve produced these tables. The design bond stresses depends on the concrete grade and type of rebar whether plain or deformed bar. ![]() Ϭ s = stress in bar at the section considered at design load, andįor places where straight development length is not possible, hooks, bends and mechanical anchorages can be provided to have proper anchorage. So we can calculate the value of development length by the following formula: Tensile stresses in bar at the section considered at design load.It is usually denoted by the nomenclature Ld.ĭevelopment length of rebar depends on following factors: ![]() The extended certain minimum length of reinforcement bars across the two different elements of a structure across the point of maximum tensile stresses to establish the desired bond strength and make them monolithic without slip or to prevent bar from pulling out under tension is called development length. Now, we can define the development length as: So the rebars are projected and extended into the supporting column by a distance Ld called development length to make beam and column monolithic. Have a look at the below cantilever beam we know the tensile stresses are maximum at the supporting end but we have to project these bars in to the supporting column for transferring the tensile stresses across. But in cases where you have the hinge or roller restraint you don’t have to provide this development. The fixed end restraint in an element like in beams – you have to provide this development to provide resistance against induced bending moment. you must have to develop and project the main reinforcement into the adjacent section to have those tensile stresses transferred efficiently. Now to transfer tensile stresses from element of structure to other you just can’t terminate the reinforcement at the end of the element i.e. If you have an overview of load transfer mechanism you would have picture in your mind how the imposed load (dead and live) is transferred from slab to beams from beams to columns and from columns to footing. In buildings we have various elements of structure like a column and beam. Effect of Ribs on Development Length of Rebars Why there’s a need for development length of rebars? Now that you’ve got the background why it is so important for the rebars to have proper anchorage in the concrete matrix let’s move on to our core issue which is about development length. One end of the dowel is greased and caped while the other one is embedded to allow slippage in case of expansion and/or contraction. With above you might think that plain rebars have no application so why are those factories still producing them? Actually these plain smooth rebars are still used while doweling two adjacent concrete slabs when you need an expansion or contraction joint. These ribs account for about 85% of the bond strength while only 15% depends on the friction between steel and concrete. If the bond between the two types of material is not at par with the induced stresses the structure may fail in brittle which is too dangerous.Īll reinforcements now have ribs across the perpendicular direction to provide some lateral restraint and anchorage against slippage bond failure. Reinforcement bars take up the tensile stresses from tensioned zones that are transferred by concrete matrix by using bond resistance. What is Development Length? How rebars transfer stresses to adjacent concrete section? To understand why there is a need to provide development length and splice length across the rebars you’ve got to have some overview on how rebars actually transfer or take stresses to or from the adjoining concrete mass. With that, I thought I should give my words about the two very important and basic concepts of structural engineering and construction. So, there’s a lot more confusion going on out there about the difference between development length and lap length also known as splice length.
