Anchorage bond

Anchorage bond
4

Reinforcing bars are mostly subject to tension.


The bars must be firmly anchored not to be pulled out of the concrete.
Anchorage depends on:
the bond between the bar and the concrete,
The area of contact; and
Whether or not the bar is located in a region where good bond
conditions can be expected.

 Basic anchorage length


 The derived equation may be used to determine the basic anchorage length
which are either in tension or compression.
 For calculation of anchorage lengths, design value of ultimate anchorage bond
stresses are specified according to whether the bond conditions are good or
otherwise.

Anchorage bond
10

 Good bond conditions are considered to be when a bar are inclined at an


angle of between 45 and 90 to the horizontal or b Zero to 45 provided that
additional requirements are met.
 These additional requirements are that bars are:
 1. either placed in members whose depth in the direction of concreting does
not exceed 250mm or
 2. embedded in members with a depth greater than 250mm and either in the
lower 250mm of the member or at least 300mm from the top surface when
the depth exceeds 600mm.

Laps in reinforcement
13

 Lapping of reinforcement is often necessary to transfer the forces


from one bar to another.
 Laps between bars should be staggered and should not occur in
regions of high stress.
 The length of the lap should be based on the minimum anchorage
length modified to take into account factors such as cover.
 Usually used 50d

20 Principle of Superposition

 Principle of superposition asserts that the resultant stress or stain in a system


subjected to several forces is the algebraic sum of their effects when
applied separately.
 This is true only if each strain is directly or linearly related to the stress
causing it.
 strains in most situations are small hence permitting application of principle
of superposition.

Principles of prestressed concrete design


21

 consider members subjected to an axial force 𝑁, and a bending moment 𝑀. The


strains on a unit length of the member are shown below where:
 𝑁 –causes strains in direction parallel to the beam longitudinal axis.
 𝑀 –cause strains in a plane section to rotate.

Tendon profiles
23

Pretensioned prestressed concrete members have straight tendons


since the tension in the cable is applied before the concrete is cast.

Post-tensioned prestressed concrete members have curved tendon


profiles. The curve of the profile loosely follows the shape of the
bending moment diagram.

Design of statically determinate prestressed

concrete elements

Most prestressed concrete beams are simply supported and thus the
analysis, the determination of the shear force diagram and the
bending moment diagram is done as in reinforced concrete beams
