Development Length(Compression) for Column Reinforcement.

P.K.Mallick

Is it required to provide development length for compression for column bars extending into footing?

Sir, Happy to see you in CE. i had read many of your posts in SEFI.
By understanding the physics, there is no need for anchorage the column bars in footing in case of compression. Because the concrete itself take the compression.
May be it will help at the time of buckling, tensile force etc. other than the compressive force.
Correct me, if i am wrong?
