THE STEPS INVOLVED IN PRODUCING STIRRUP IN COLUMN
There are two types of bars in a RCC column i.e. longitudinal bar and horizontal bar. In horizontal bar, the stirrups and ties are utilized in column. Stirrup is also known as ring, shear reinforcement, etc. To form stirrup for column, it is necessary to work out the cutting length of bar for stirrup as well as calculate the number of stirrups and the size of stirrup. It can be performed in following 4 easy steps. Find out the size of stirrup Compute the cutting bar length for stirrup Compute the number of stirrups Bending the bar in stirrup’s shape 1. Find out the Size of Stirrup Suppose, the column size is 20″ x 40″. The concrete clear cover for reinforcement of column is taken as 1½”. The length of stirrup should be 40″-2×1½”=37″ and width 20″-2×1½”=17″. Therefore, the size of the stirrup is 37″x17″. 2.Work out Cutting-Bar-Length for Stirrup There exist actual bar length and cutting bar length. The actual bar length of sti...
