Development Length for simple Support Formula Elements

Variables
Development Length
Development Length is the amount of reinforcement or bar length needed to be embedded into the column to establish the desired bond strength between the concrete and steel.
Symbol: Ld
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Computed Flexural Strength
Computed Flexural Strength is defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test with all reinforcing steel at section stressed to fy.
Symbol: Mn
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Applied Shear at Section
Applied Shear at Section of a reinforced concrete beam is a result of the dowel force, aggregate interlock, and shear compression force.
Symbol: Vu
Measurement: PressureUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Additional Embedment Length
Additional Embedment Length is the length of embedded steel reinforcement provided beyond a critical section, beyond inflection point or center of support.
Symbol: La
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
