Explanation:

The anchorage value of a bar depends on the development length and the diameter of the bar.

Development length

  1. The development length is the length of the rebar that must be embedded or anchored in the concrete to develop its full tensile capacity.
  2. It ensures that the rebar does not pull out or fail prematurely when subjected to loads.
  3. The calculated tension or compression in any bar at any section shall be developed on each side of the section by an appropriate development length or end anchorage or a combination thereof.
  4. Development length can be calculated as:

\(L_d= \frac {\phi \times 0.87f_y}{4 \tau_{bd}}\)

where \(\phi= \) Diameter of bar

\(\tau_{bd}\)=  Design bond stress

Additional InformationAnchorage values based on diameter.

As per Clause 26.2.2.1 b of IS 456-2000 

Anchorage Value of Bends & Hooks
Bends 45° 4 d
90° 8 d
135° 12 d
Hooks U type Hook (180°) 16 d

d = diameter of bar
