    Diagonal reinforcement in coupling beams

    Thanks bobby So page 23 says: The longitudinal reinforcement, typically No. 4 or No. 5 bars, should extend only a short distance into the wall boundary so that it will not develop significant tensile stress due to beam flexure. So what's the purpose of the longitudinal reinforcement?

    Diagonal reinforcement in coupling beams

    Hi, Can someone please help me understand why the longitudinal reinforcement (reinforcement running left-to-right) for coupling beams with diagonal reinforcement isn't embedded/developed into the walls much at all? Please see image below...

    AS3600-2018, CL14.5.4 and 'closed fitments'

    AS3600-2018, CL14.5.4 and 'closed fitments'

    I'm having a similar debate with my colleagues. I have 65MPa core walls, so I'm being referred to 14.5.4. But the same clause refers to both 'ties' and fitments'. I don't understand if I'm allowed to use open (C-shape) ligs or not? I really don't want to show fully closed (O-shaped) ligs...
