In this course we will cover how to properly bond beams for a variety of purposes by calculating the development lengths for the reinforcement bars, which will help to provide extra strength to the beams. Factors affecting your developmental length calculation will also be covered, such as critical sections of a beam. We will also cover how splices can help or hinder your project.

Course Objectives

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

Explain why bars are cut off or bended and how bond stresses are affected by this.
Identify factors that affect bond stresses and explain how these factors influence bond stresses.
Provide the allowable development lengths values for deformed bars, deformed and plain welded wires in tension, standard hooks, and lightweight aggregate concrete as dictated by the ACI.
Calculate where to cut off bar provided with a beam’s compression stress and yield stress.
Identify the correct label, symbol, and definition of each term in the ACI Equation 12-1.
Calculate the developmental length for bars reinforcing tension, bundled bars, bars with hooks, welded wire fabric, and compression bars using the appropriate formulas for each situation.
Summarize how critical sections of a bar, combined shear and moment, and the shape of a moment diagram can affect a development length.
List the conditions under which a shear failure can occur.
Explain the purpose of the different types of bar splices, tension splices, and compression splices.
Explain the purpose of headed deformed bars and list its limitations.
