WHAT IS CONCRETE CORBEL ?

A corbel is a short can deliver projection which supports load bearing members.

 

Corbels or brackets is a reinforced concrete member is a short-haunched cantilever used to support the reinforced concrete beam element.

 

Corbel is structural element to support the precast structural system such as precast beam and prestressed beam.

 

In Architecture a corbel is structural piece of stone, wood, or metal jutting  from the wall to carry a superincumbent weight.

 

The word corbel comes from old French and derives from the Latin corbellus.

 

‡ Behaviour of Corbel

 

The shear span/depth ratio is less than 1.
( it makes the corbel behave in two dimensional Manner )

 

Shear deformation is significant is the corbel.

 

There is large horizontal force transmitted from the supported beam result from the long-term shrinkage and creep deformation.

 

Bearing failure due to large concentrated load.

 

The cracks are usually vertical or inclined pure share cracks.

 

† Modes of failure of corbel are :-

 

  1. Yielding of the tension tie.
  2. Failure of the end anchorage of the tension tie.
  3. Failure of concrete by compression or shearing bearing failure.

 

Note :-

 

  1. The distance between the line of the reaction to the support load from the root of the corbel is less than “d”
    ( d is effective depth of the root of corbel )
  1. The depth and the outer edge of the contact area of the supported load is not less than one half of the depth at the root of the corbel.
