Reinforcement Anchorage Length Calculation in Beam and Columns according to Various Country Regulations

There is international consensus on many design models for structural concreteelements. However, the harmonization of code provisions reveals that the structuralanalysis of some details was conducted very differently in single national codes in thepast. The omnipresent anchorage of reinforcing bars is one of the issues still unsolved.Due to the different weather conditions between Turkey and neighboring countries such as Russia and Europe, the reinforcement conditions in the standards of these countries were different from what is in the Turkish standard. Accordingly, this research was written to show the details of the anchorage of the beam reinforcement to the column and the overlapping of the reinforcement in the middle of the column to show the anchorage detail differences between Turkish, Russian and European regulations. This paper compares important provisions and parameters related to anchorage and lap of bars in reinforced concrete.
