A. DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT

CHAPTER A : 'DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT' 16 First select the extension limit according to the following drawing to calculate L1 (for L2=0) for the left support and for the right support, separately. Then you choose whether and how to turn the upper bars and lower bars, for calculation of L2, for the left support and for the right support, separately. Select the buttons and the calculation is automatically made based on the diameter, the parameters you set and the position of the iron, for the upper and lower irons, the left support and the right support. Every modification you make automatically updates the plan and table 2.2.1 Procedure for calculating the anchorage length lbd. The total lbd is calculated and this is divided into l1 and l2, if the linear anchorage is not sufficient (wall case). L1 is the straight anchorage length and l2 is the vertical anchorage length. OBSERVATION: Note that, - the ECOS prescribes a minimum WIDE anchorage length (l1) which it calls lb,min. - EC2 does not provide for a minimum straight anchorage length, but provides for a minimum TOTAL anchorage length (l1+l2) which it also calls lb,min. EC8 in paragraph 5.6.2, among other things, provides ONLY for DCH that the anchorage length shall be only straight (excessive). Based on the above:
