5 .2 .11.1 Simplified rules for bar curtailments in slabs
(BS 8110, clause 3.12.10, Fig. 3.25)
Assumptions:
a. Slabs are of approximately equal span (within 15%) d. Tie force requirements should also be considered
b. Slabs support substantially uniformly distributed loads (3.12.3t)
c. Check that top slab reinforcement satisfies beam flange e. Consider torsional effects in 2-way slabs where corners
requirements (3.4.1.5t) are prevented from lifting (3.5.3t).
(ii) discontinuous edge (flat slab)
