HEADED REINFORCEMENT A VIABLE OPTION

Headed reinforcement has not been widely used in typical building construction primarily because there is a lack of experimental data necessary to develop design requirements. Studies are needed to address the required embedment length within the joint for headed reinforcement. If the required embedment length exceeds that required for a 90 degree hook, then use of headed reinforcement may not be economical. In addition, since a headed bar is anchored by concrete bearing on the head, studies are needed to assess if current design provisions for concrete cover and transverse reinforcement within the joint can be applied to joints where bars are terminated with heads in place of standard hooks.
