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?
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...
Hi rapt,
thanks for your prompt response.
in summary, do you think we can use the open C ligs or do we need to have it fully closed?
if it's the latter, can we use 2x C-ligs to close the loop?
sorry for the additional questions, i'm still confused.
regards,
winston
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...
