Stirrup Design Calculations Guide

The document outlines the steps for designing stirrups in structural engineering, including calculations for shear forces and spacing requirements. It specifies conditions under which no design is needed and provides formulas for determining required and maximum spacing of stirrups based on shear values. Additionally, it includes notes on minimum spacing and standard practices after support spans.

STIRRUPS

1. SOLVE FOR Vu USING SHEAR DIAGRAM


2. SOLVE FOR Vud USING SIMILAR TRIANGLE
3. SOLVE FOR ΦVc
Φ V C =Φ [ 0.17 λ √ f ' c bd ]
WHERE:
Φ=0.75

4. IF Vud < ΦVc, NO NEED FOR DESIGN (1@50, REST@300mm OC)


5. IF Vud > ΦVc, SOLVE FOR ΦVs
V UD =Φ V C +Φ V S

6. SOLVE FOR SREQ


A V fyd
S REQ =
VS

7. SOLVE FOR SMAX


d
V S < 0.33 √ f ' c bd S MAX=
2
d
V S > 0.33 √ f ' c bd S MAX=
4

8. SOLVE FOR SMIN, USE WHICHEVER IS GREATER


A V fy
S MIN =
0.062 √ f ' c b
A fy
S MIN = V
0.35 b

NOTE 1: THERE IS ALWAYS A 1@50mm STIRRUPS AFTER THE SUPPORT SPAN


NOTE 2: IF SPACING IS GREATER THAN 300mm, USE 300mm
