    Minimum width of closed tie fitment

    Hi there, I have checked AS3600 but still not sure about what the minimum width of closed fitment in a beam can be. AS3600 specifies internal diameter of the bend of D500N bar is 4db. So should the min width be 2*bar size + 2db + 2db? does it require a straight section between the bend? Thanks
