Shear reinforcement
RAM Concept shows shear reinforcement zones on plan with the following parameters:
- number of spaces in the zone
- number of legs per shear reinforcement set
- spacing of the sets
- length of the zone
The following figure shows shear reinforcement.
For US units and bar size, the zone is 2.78 ft. long and has 4 spaces with two #4 legs @ 8.34 centers.
For metric units and bar size, the zone is 0.772 m long and has 4 spaces with two 12 mm legs @ 193 centers.
For both unit systems, there are five shear reinforcement sets (spaces + 1).
