Corner Reinforcement: ACI (8.7.3)
Unvestrained corners of two-way slabs tend to lift when loaded. If this lifting
tendency is restrained by edge walls or beams, bending moments result in the slab.
This section provides steel to resist these moments and control cracking.
Reinforcement provided for flexure in the primary directions may be used to satisfy
this requirement.
Corner reinforcement shall be placed parallel to the diagonal in the top of the
slab and perpendicular to the diagonal in the bottom of the slab. Alternatively,
reinforcement shall be placed in two layers parallel to the sides of the slab in both
the top and bottom of the slab.
At exterior corners of slabs supported by edge walls or where one or more edge
bears have a value of (Xf 2 1), top and bottom slab reinforcement shall be
provided at exterior corners.

strip adjacent to an edge supported by a wall, t« may be assumed
equals to ta of the parallel adjacent column to column span, and a
wall may be considered as a beam having a moment of inertia
equal to infinity. (R 3.10.5)
