Is it a right approach to consider actual area covered by the bars i.e. N×(pi*d^2)/4 then the cumulative diameter shall be sqrt(N×d2)
Assuming them as a compound bar, calculating bending moment
M = Yst × I / c
They are bundled at multiple points about 9-10 straps. Making them to be considered as a compound section i guess. Yes, there's friction for sure as they are ribbed bars used for construction.
They are tightly Bundled using steel straps at the manufacturing units. Making an outer circle of large diameter containing 15 smaller circles of 32 mm dia
Hi,
I need to calculate the Bending Force required to bend a reinforced bar bundle.
The bundled bar is in 12M in length with each individual bar having a diameter of 32mm having 15 Bars in the bundle which weighs approx 1136 kg. The yield strength is 650 MPa.
How to calculate the bending...
