DETAILS AND DETAILING OF CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT
Fig. 15—Typical wall details shown in horizontal cross section.
Fig. 16—Not recommended; closed stirrup styles considered ineffective for members subjected to high
torsion stress (based on tests by Collins and Mitchell).
Notes: all 90 degree bends as shown unless otherwise indicated on structural drawings. Vertical bars shown at hooks only. Bends
are shown as sharp angles for clarity.
*
This dimension must be shown or specified by the Architect/Engineer.
**
If other than a standard 90
degree end hook, this dimension must be shown by the Architect/Engineer.
Notes: These styles are NOT RECOMMENDED for those members to be subjected to high torsional stress. Note lack of confine-
ment when compared with similar members with confinement shown in Fig. 12.
