Symbols
db = nominal diameter of bar, wire, or prestressing strand, in
Ach = cross-sectional area of a member measured to the outside edges of transverse reinforcement, in.2
f'c = specified comprehensive strength of concrete, psi
fyt = specified yield strength of transverse reinforcement,psi
Ag = gross area of the concrete section, in.2 For a hollow section, Ag is the area of the concrete only and does not include the area of the void(s)
...
Ties
Ties apply a closed loop of the deformed bar, which satisfies the rules:
Center-to-center spacing does not exceed the least 16db of the longitudinal bar, 48db of the tie bar, and the smallest dimension of the member.
The minimum diameter of the tie bar is controlled automatically according to ACI 25.7.2.2. The diameter of the tie bar is at least:
No. 3 enclosing No. 10 or smaller longitudinal bars
No. 4 enclosing No.11 or larger longitudinal bars or bundled longitudinal bars
According to ACI 25.7.2.3, Rectilinear ties are arranged to satisfy (a) and (b):
...
(a) Ends overlap by at least 6 in.
(b) Ends terminate with standard hooks in accordance with ACI 25.3.2 that engage a longitudinal bar
(c) Overlaps at ends of adjacent circular ties are staggered around the perimeter, enclosing the longitudinal bars
...
Hoop
Hoops consist of a closed or continuously wound tie , consisting of with several reinforcement elements, each having seismic hooks at both ends.
The ends of the hoop reinforcement elements are anchored using seismic hooks that conform to ACI 25.3.4 and engage a longitudinal bar.
