This document provides design details for concrete compression corbels. It includes parameters for corbel design such as strut spacing, loads, dimensions, material properties, and reinforcement requirements. The design is verified to meet requirements for flexure, tension, shear, and anchorage. Reinforcement consisting of 12mm diameter bars in layers is proposed and deemed adequate based on the calculations.
