Anchorage

• The anchorage method (straight bar or other anchorage like bend, hook or loop)

Confinement by welded transverse reinforcement

• The reduction of anchorage length in accordance with table 8.2 (coefficient α₄).

Confinement by transv. reinf. not welded to main one

• The reduction of anchorage length in accordance with table 8.2 (coefficient α₃). Additional inputs are member type (the coefficient K depends on this input) and total area of transverse reinforcement

Good bond conditions

• The anchorage conditions in accordance with figure 8.2. Good bond conditions can be considered for all members with height up to 250mm, in the bottom layer of 250mm thickness for members up to 600mm and along the whole height except upper layer of 300mm thickness for higher cross-sections.

Confinement by transverse pressure

• The reduction of anchorage length in accordance with table 8.2 (coefficient α₅)
