Overlap splice length is situated within themoment envelop and anchors full bar force.The chosen splice length determines the bondstress gradient.
Anchorage length is situated outside themoment envelop and theoretically does notanchor any force. However, anchorages at
supports may partly be within the momentenvelop and may have to anchor considerableforce. There the support pressure and eventual
stirrups help.

Definition in following tests:
Over length = Anchorage length
On-loading length = has splice length function The anchorage length theoretically does nor anchor any tensilereinforcement force. Practically yes.

Overlap splice anchors full tensile
reinforcement force
The chosen splice length s determines the anchorage
force gradient. Gradient has to be limited to avoid failure.

In the following tests the moment shift is
disregarded at anchoring of staggered bars
follows moment on top of beam Beams with in 45o inclined stirrups have no
moment shift. The stirrups are designed to takeall shear according to Mrsch at moment failure.
Beams with vertical stirrups have half lever arm
moment shift. The stirrups are designed to takeall shear according to Mrsch at moment failure.
Bundled bars has favourable force transfer atstaggering points. If distance between bars bond
has to be transferred by shear trough concrete.

There is no over length
= anchorage lengthfor 16 mm bar.
There is full 100% cover of
shear force by stirrups.
The moment envelop shift isdisregarded and of course
it influences the anchorage
performance.

Beams in Series U resultsObserve that beams with 45o stirrups and longer on-loading length
can give necessary anchorage without any anchorage length
outside the moment envelop.

Questions-Statements
Is anchorage length the same as overlap splice length?Some statements. Anchorage length starts where force in bar theoretically already is zero.
Most of the anchoring has been done along the on-loading length. Splice length anchors always full force. The splice length determines the
bond intensity.
Moment envelop
Shear is taken by stirrups, concrete compressive zone and reinforcementdowel action. This influences the moment envelop.
Direction of shear cracks is 45o at 100% of shear force cover by stirrups. Ifless cover, inclination less than 45o.
Covering 100% of shear force, stirrups in 45o give no displacement ofmoment and stirrups in 90o give half lever arm moment displacement. Anychange in relations influence the moment envelop.

Questions- Statements cont.Anchorage at supports At supports we approach the splice situation because anchorage
starts mostly within moment envelop. Up to full reinforcement forceanchorage has to be secured. In most cases there is transverse
compressive support force and confining stirrups, which helps.Anchorage confinement
For staggered reinforcement with short on-loading lengths there areshear required necessary confining stirrups.
Force redistribution
Force is redistribution from anchored bars with some slip tocontinuous bars without, and other way round if on-loading isintense. The distance between the staggered anchored bars andcontinuous bars influences the redistribution and activation of theanchorage length.
