Cutting length of different shapes of stirrup
Stirrups: Stirrups are lateral ties provided in column to resist shear force and to hold longitudinal bars (main bars) of column in position. 1. Cutting length of Rectangular/Square stirrup: Procedure to be followed for calculating cutting length of rectangular/square stirrup: Step 1 : Mark c/c distance of stirrup along length as ‘a’ as per the given structural drawing of stirrup. Step 2 : Mark c/c distance of stirrup along breadth as ‘b’ as per the given structural drawing of stirrup. Step 3 : Calculate a & b separately from structural drawing of stirrup. Step 4 : Now, calculate the cutting length of rectangular/square stirrup. Calculation part: General Notes: For hook part, consider as 10*d. For 45˚ bend, consider as d. For 90˚ bend, consider as 2*d. For 135˚ bend, consider as 3*d. Size of column = 300*600 mm From the above given structural drawing of stirrup: Consider diameter of stirrup bar, Ø = 8mm. No. of 90˚ bend = 3 ...
