V13H_26 Reinforced Concrete Design: Development, Anchorage, and Lap Splices

This course is the second in a series on the topic of reinforced concrete design following the American Concrete Institute's Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-11). Fundamentals of reinforcement details for flexural members are presented. These fundamentals apply structural elements such as beams, slabs, footings, and walls. Reinforced Concrete Design: Development, Anchorage, and Lap Splices. This course is designed for engineers seeking a presentation of basic principles of reinforced concrete design. Level of material presented is comparable to a senior-level university course. Engineers who are changing focus of their careers or who only occasionally design flexural members will find this course of particular interest.

Discussion and examples illustrate the behavior, principles, and calculations necessary to:
     1. Apply the ACI Code requirements for cover and spacing of reinforcement
     2. " " Determine development lengths for deformed bars in tension and compression and understand basic requirements for embedment
     3. " " Determine the development length for standard hooks
     4. " " Understand the requirements for development of shear and torsion reinforcement
     5. " " Determine tension and compression lap splice lengths
     6. " " Investigate the development and embedment of positive and negative moment reinforcement when using standard details for systems supporting gravity loads
     7. " " Understand the requirements for structural integrity
