Abstract:
Headed reinforcement offers several advantages over straight bar or hooked bar anchorages to develop reinforcement in concrete members. A summary of test results on the anchorage behavior of headed rein-forcement with low ratios of embedment depth-to-edge distance (shallow embedments) is presented. The effects of several variables on the anchorage behavior are discussed. Based on these results, design procedures adapted from the concrete capacity design method for anchors bolts is presented.
