STIRRUPS

1. SOLVE FOR Vu USING SHEAR DIAGRAM

2. SOLVE FOR Vud USING SIMILAR TRIANGLE
3. SOLVE FOR ΦVc
Φ V C =Φ [ 0.17 λ √ f ' c bd ]
WHERE:
Φ=0.75

4. IF Vud < ΦVc, NO NEED FOR DESIGN (1@50, REST@300mm OC)

5. IF Vud > ΦVc, SOLVE FOR ΦVs
V UD =Φ V C +Φ V S

6. SOLVE FOR SREQ

A V fyd
S REQ =
VS

7. SOLVE FOR SMAX

d
V S < 0.33 √ f ' c bd S MAX=
2
d
V S > 0.33 √ f ' c bd S MAX=
4

8. SOLVE FOR SMIN, USE WHICHEVER IS GREATER

A V fy
S MIN =
0.062 √ f ' c b
A fy
S MIN = V
0.35 b

NOTE 1: THERE IS ALWAYS A 1@50mm STIRRUPS AFTER THE SUPPORT SPAN

NOTE 2: IF SPACING IS GREATER THAN 300mm, USE 300mm
