cover on extension beyond hook ≥ 2 in. …………………..0.7
• If the hook is enclosed vertically or horizontally within ties space ≤ 3 db

• When anchorage for full development is not specifically required, and
there is excess reinforcement…………………As required/As provided
Standard Hooks
Critical points, c, occur at points of
maximum moment. All
reinforcement must be anchored
distances ld or ldh on both sides of
these points.
la = greater of d or 12 db
Reinforcement Stopped in a
Tension Zone
Flexural reinforcement may not be
stopped in a tension zone unless one of
the following conditions is satisfied:
3 #5 bars
2 #5 bars
