👉Why Bars Are Bent In Slabs Near At Support

📜Bent up bars: Are the main reinforcements bent at a suitable angle to act as shear reinforcements.

⏺Reinforcements are bent up to the supports/ends where greater compressive force occurs.

📍Bars Are Bend Near At Support To

🔰1- To resist shear force.

🔰2-To resist (NBM) adjacent at supports.

🔰3- To increment the strength of RCC in the slab.

🔰4- Bent Up bar can abate the amount of steel.

🔰5- Bent up bars in the slab is more strong form normal slab.

🔰6- Bent up bars sufficiently increase the deformation capacity of slabs as compared to those not having bars bent.

🔰7- By extending bars up to supports, we can also lower the risk of brittle failure due to higher compressive stresses causing the structure to collapse.

💫There are two patterns to bend the bars

🚧1- Single lattice system

🚧2- Double lattice system

⏺Bent up bars (any type) are always provided with vertical or inclined stirrups.

⏺Bent up bars are used for the economization of material.
