Hello all, I cannot find and hopefully it doesn't exist.....
Are the 135 degree hooks on rectilinear hoops required to be alternated from one corner of a column/pedestal to another? I've seen it both ways: All hooks on one longitudinal bar and rotated as mentioned. I'm being challenged by a client QA who I believe has misinterpreted the following:
7.10.5.3 — Ties shall be arranged such that every
corner and alternate longitudinal bar shall have lateral
support provided by the corner of a tie with an
included angle of not more than 135 degrees and no
bar shall be farther than 6 in. clear on each side along
the tie from such a laterally supported bar. Where
longitudinal bars are located around the perimeter of a
circle, a complete circular tie shall be permitted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
