DEVELOPMENT LENGTH OF BARS FOR DIFFERENT STEEL TYPE &
DIFFERENT CONCRETE MIXES
Ld = 0.87 fy 4 bd
Ld= k where k is based on character strength of steel, concrete bond stress.
The constant k value for various type of steel and concrete for Tension & compression are given below for reference. Developed length of bar in Tension
