Section 7.6.5.2 Maximum Tie Spacing

shortdesc

The maximum spacing of ties is calculated as the minimum of:
  • 16 times the smallest longitudinal bar diameter
  • 48 times the smallest transverse bar diameter
  • The smallest dimension of the member, calculated as the least overall shear core dimension in either horizontal or vertical axis

If the specified concrete strength exceeds 50 MPa, the spacing above are multiplied by 0.75.
