Online rebar dowel software

Online rebar dowel software

When using the online rebar program, there's no way to specify a load (unless I'm missing how to input it). Is it assumed that the load is the area of the bar times the yield strength of steel?

Hi Joel:

PROFIS Rebar is based on ACI 318 Chapter 25 for determining the development length of a reinforcing bar.  The equation can be found in section 25.4.2.3.  Load is not a variable required for this calculation.

Randy
