TABLE 15. MAXIMUM DIAMETER OF ROUND OR SQUARE 



STIRRUPS 

 (From Taylor and Thompson's "Concrete, Plain and Reinforced" 1 ) 



Table gives values of 2.4 y for different values of tension and bond. 



TABLE 16 MINIMUM LENGTH OF EMBEDMENT OF INCLINED 



RODS 



(From Taylor and Thompson's "Concrete, Plain and Reinforced" 1 ) 

 (Round or square) . 



V = A a diameters. 

 4w 



Table gives values of J ~ for different values of tension and bond. 



Allowable unit 

 bond stress (u) 



Allowable unit stress in inclined rod (/") 

 (Ib. per sq. in.) 



Transverse Spacing of Reinforcement. 



Least width of beam should be the greater of the two values 

 determined from the following formulas: 



b = [2.5(n-l)+4]d 1 

 b = a (n+l)+nd 1 

 in which b = least width of beam. 

 di = thickness of the rods. 

 n = maximum number of rods which occurs 



in a horizontal layer. 

 a g = maximum size of aggregate in inches.
