= 130 mm. Now we have everything to calculate the cutting length of our example diamond stirrup. And the formula is, = (4 × arm length) + (2 × hook length) — bend deduction.
How do you calculate stirrup length?
Method for Calculating Cutting Length of Stirrups
- Study the size of a beam or column on drawings.
- Check the diameter of the bar given for stirrups (Mostly 8mm diameter is used for stirrups)
- Subtract the clear cover or concrete cover.
- Calculate the total perimeter/outer length for stirrup by deducting concrete cover.
What is the formula for finding the length of steel in stirrups?
Length of X = Width – 2(Half the diameter of the bar) – 2(Clear cover). = 450 – 2(5) – 2(35). Length of Y = Height – 2(Half the diameter of the bar) – 2(Clear cover).
