A. DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT

CHAPTER A : 'DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT' 18 , which means that =1 So it is calculated as lbd=92.00 cm The calculation of the drum is done by the following procedure. It is checked whether the minimum set by the regulation, i.e. 7F, is sufficient to satisfy the failure test for curvature anchorage failure Fbt is linearly decreasing from the beginning of the anchorage, which we assume to be in full tension, to the beginning of the curvature, taking into account that this straight section changes with each different drum diameter. The 7Φ set as a minimum by the regulation is Φμ=12.6 cm. According to the above relation, Φm,min ≥ is 14.35 cm, so the original consideration 7Φ is not sufficient. The program with iteration routines will find the minimum diameter that satisfies the above relationship. This will result in:
