Example: Consider Rectangular Column 450mm x 300mm having cover to reinforcement 40mm.
Size of the stirrup on 450mm side= 450-40-40 = 370mm
Size of the stirrup on 300mm side= 300-40-40 =220mm
Total cutting length of ring for 8 dia bar = Periphery + hook length.
=2*370+2*220+2*8*10=1340mm
hook length= 10D
Size of the stirrup on 450mm side= 450-40-40 = 370mm
Size of the stirrup on 300mm side= 300-40-40 =220mm
Total cutting length of ring for 8 dia bar = Periphery + hook length.
=2*370+2*220+2*8*10=1340mm
hook length= 10D
