Find out the quantity of STIRRUPS in kg for 8 feet length of beam, Cross section of the beam is given in Figure 2. Assume missing data if any.

 

Q#: Find out the quantity of STIRRUPS in kg for 8 feet length of beam, Cross section of the beam is given in Figure 2. Assume missing data if any.

 

Solution#

Lenghth of beam  =   8 beams

        = 8-0.125 -0.125 = 7.75

 

NO.of stirrups =  7.7/ 0.5 +1 =16.5 = 17

 

Length of 1  stirrup  =  2×L +2×B  + 2 × (10 d)                              d= 0.375 of #3bars

 

= 2 (12 -0.125 -0.125 ) + 2(18 -0.125 -0.125) + 9(0.375) +9(0.375) -6(0.375) -6(0.375)

 

=50.25 =  4.1875ft

 

Total legth of stirrups = 4.1875 × 17 = 71.1875

 

 

Total weight of stirrups = 71.1875  × 0.1701  = 12.1089 kg
