REINFORCEMENT REQUIREMENTS
• Longitudinal Bars
- Provided to sustain compressive forces
• BEAMS AND GIRDERS caused by axial loads and tensile forces
caused by bending moments.
• Confinement
- Individual hoop ties with cross-ties or
continuous spiral bars to provide:
a) Lateral bracing of longitudinal bars to prevent
buckling when concrete cover breaks.
b) Prevention against spitting of the column due to
shear failure
c) Confinement of concrete column core for increased
strength and ductility.
• BEAMS AND GIRDERS

FACTORED LOADS (service loads are multiplied with
LOAD FACTORS) provide non-linear inelastic behavior.
