Abstract
This paper describes a project directed toward development of design criteria for reinforced concrete corbels. Part 1 contains these design criteria, together with design aids and design examples. Part 2 describes the tests on which the proposed criteria are based, involving 124 corbels subjected to vertical loads only and 71 corbels subjected to combined vertical and horizontal loads. Part 3 contains the discussion and analysis of the experimental data and the derivation of the design equations. Detailed test data are given in an appendix.
