333.67 = 280y (70/2)(y)2
y = 1.4579
x = 4- y =2.5421 m
Ld/db = (9/10)(fy/Sfc)
Where db = 25mm
fy = 276 MPa
fc = 21 MPa
= 1.0 (Bottom bars)
= 1.0 (No epoxy)
= 1.0 (Normal weight concrete)
Ld = (9/10)(276/S21) (1.0x1.0x1.0) (25mm)
Ld = 1355.1 mm
Therefore, the length of the 4 cut bars is (2542.1 + 1355.1) x 2 = 7794.5mm say 7.8m

Basic development length lhb shall be multiplied by applicable factor or factors
for:
412.6.3.1........................Bar yield strength.
Bars with fy other than 415 MPa . . fy /415

412.6.3.2 Concrete cover.

For 36 mm diameter bar and smaller, side cover (normal to plane of the hook) not less than 65
mm, and for 90-degree hook, cover on bar extension beyond hook not less than 50 millimeters
......................................................... 0.7
412.6.3.3 Ties or stirrups.
For 36 mm diameter bar and smaller, hook enclosed vertically or horizontally within ties or
stirrup ties spaced along the full development length ldh not greater than 3db, where db is
diameter
of hooked bar .................................. 0.8
412.6.3.4
Excess reinforcement.
Where anchorage or development for fy is not specifically required, reinforce-ment in excess of
that required by analysis
[(As required)/(As provided)]
412.6.3.5.............................................Lightweight aggregate concrete
1.3
412.6.3.6.......................................Epoxy-coated reinforcement.
Hooked bars with epoxy coating ..... 1.2
412.6.4
For bars being developed by a standard hook at discontinuous ends of members
with side cover and top (or bottom) cover over hook less than 65 mm, hooked bar shall be
enclosed within ties or stirrups spaced along the full development length ldh not greater than 3db,
where db is diameter of hooked bar. For this case, factor of Section 412.6.3.3 shall not apply.
