How does ideCAD control beam transverse reinforcement detailing according to ACI 318-19?

...

Tip
  • Transverse reinforcement detailing is applied automatically in accordance with ACI 9.7.

...

Details of transverse reinforcement are applied in accordance with Transverse Reinforcement per ACI 318-19 with ideCAD title.

Hoops

Hoops consist of a closed tie or continuously wound tie, which can consist of several reinforcement elements each having seismic hooks at both ends (Transverse Reinforcement per ACI 318-19 with ideCAD).

...

Shear reinforcement is provided using stirrups, hoops, or longitudinal bent bars. Also, additional shear reinforcement, called hanger reinforcement (ACI Fig R9.7.6.2.1), should be placed to transfer shear from the end of the supported beam. According to ACI R9.7.6.2.1 hanger reinforcement is not requredrequiredif the bottom of the supported beam is at or above middepth mid-depth of the supporting beam or if the factored shear transferred from the supported beam is less than 3√fc‘bwd.

According to ACI 9.7.6.2.2. , maximum shear reinforcement leg spacing along the beam's length of the beam and across the beam's width of the beam should be in accordance with given below.

...

If torsional reinforcement is required, transverse torsional reinforcement should be closed stirrups satisfying Stirrups per ACI 318-19 with ideCAD or hoops.

According to ACI 9.7.6.3.2, transverse torsional reinforcement should extend it beyond the point required by the analysis by at least (bt + d) distance.

According to ACI 9.7.6.3.3, the maximum spacing of transverse torsional shoul should be the lesser of ph/8 and 12 in.

...

Transverse reinforcement is provided throughout the distance where longitudinal copression compression reinforcement is required. Closed stirrups or hoops provide lateral support of longitudinal compression reinforcement.

According to ACI 9.7.6.4.2; , transverse reinforcement size should be at least one of the two conditions below,

  • No. 3 for longitudinal bars No.10 and smaller

  • No. 4 for longitudinal bars No.11 and larger

According to ACI 9.7.6.4.3; , the maximum spacing of transverse reinforcement should not exceed the least of three conditions below,

  • 16db of longitudinal reinforcement

  • 48db of transverse reinforcement

  • Least dimension of the beam

According to ACI 9.7.6.4.4, Longitudinal compression reinforcement in each corner and alternative copression compression bar shall be arranged to be surrounded by transverse reinforcement around the corner with an included angle of not more than 135 degrees. Also, no bar shall be farther than 6 in. clear on each side along the transverse reinforcement from such an enclosed bar.

According to ACI 18.4.2.4, the hoop should be provided over a minimum length 2h measured from the face of the supporting member toward the midspan , at both ends of the beam. The first hoop should be located a length of at least 2 in. from the face of the supporting member. Spacing og The spacing of hoop should not exceed the smallest of values given below,

...

According to ACI 18.4.2.5, the spacing of transverse reinforcement should not exceed d/2 throughout the length of the beam.

...

According to ACI 18.6.4.1, Hoops should be provide provided in the beam regions given below,

  • Over a length equal to twice the beam depth measured from the face of the supporting column toward the midspan , at both ends of the beam

  • Over lengths equal to twice the beam depth on both sides of a section where flexural yielding is likely to occur as a result of lateral displacements beyond the elastic range of behavior.

According to ACI 18.6.4.2, where hoops are required, primary longitudinal reinforcing bars should have lateral support in accordance with Transverse Reinforcement per ACI 318-19 with ideCAD title. The maximum spacing og of transversely supported flexural reinforcing bars are 14 in.

According to ACI 18.6.4.3, hoops in beams can consis consist of two reinforcement pieces of reinforcement. These pieces are a stirrup havin having seismic hooks at both ends and closed by a crosstie. If a slab confines the longitudinal reinforcing bars secured by the crossties are confined by a slab on only one side of the beam, the 90-degree hooks of the crossties shall be placed on that side.

...

If concrete cover over transverse reinforcement exceeds 4 in., additional transverse reinforcement having cover not exceeding 4 in. and spacing not exceeding 12 in. should be provided.
