RHC Corbel
RHC Corbel
Note:
The minimum value of Tu = 0.2Vu is established to account for the uncertain behavior of a slip joint and/or flexible bearing.
Also, the tension force Tu typically is due to indeterminate causes such as restrained shrinkage or temparature stresses.
In any case it shall be treated as a live load with load factor of (1.6).
Corbel design procedure is applicable for Tu less than or equal to Vu.
Tu = 20.16 kN < Vu = 88.8 kN ....... OK
