407.1 Notations
d = distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid of tension reinforcement, mm db = nominal diameter of bar, wire or prestressing strand, mm fci = compressive strength of concrete at time of initial prestress, Mpa fy = specified yield strength of nonprestressed reinforcement, Mpa Ld = development length, mm. See Section 412.
407.2.3 For stirrup and tie hooks: 1. 16 mm bar and smaller, 90-degree bend plus 6db extension at free end of bar; or 2. 20 mm and 25 mm bar, 90-degree bend, plus 12db extension at free end of bar; or 3. 25 mm bar and smaller, 135-degree bend plus 6db extension at free end of bar
407.2.4 Seismic hooks as defined in Section 402.
407.3.3 Inside diameter of bends in welded wire fabric (plain or deformed) for stirrups and ties shall not be less than 4db for deformed wire larger than MD40 and 2db for all other wires. Bends with inside diameter of less than 8db shall not be less than 4db from nearest welded intersection.

407.5.3 Prestressing tendons shall be clean and free of oil, dirt, scale, pitting and excessive rust. A light coating of rust shall be permitted.
d 200 mm d 200 mm
10 mm 12 mm
except that tolerance for the clear distance to formed soffits shall be minus 6 mm and tolerance for cover shall not exceed minus one-third the minimum concrete cover required by the approved plans or specifications.
407.7.3 In spirally reinforcement or tied reinforced compression members, clear distance between longitudinal bars shall not be less than 1.5db or less than 40 mm. See also Section 403.4.2.
407.7.7.1 Center-to-center spacing of pre-tensioning tendons at each end of a member shall not be less than 5db for wire, nor 4db for strands, except that if concrete strength at transfer of prestress, fci is 28 MPa or more, minimum center to center spacing of strands shall be 45 mm for strands of 12 mm nominal diameter or smaller and 50 mm strands of 16 mm nominal diameter. See also Section 403.4.2. Closer vertical spacing and bundling of tendons shall be permitted in the middle portion of a span. 407.7.7.2 Bundling of post-tensioning ducts shall be permitted if it is shown that concrete can be satisfactory placed and if provisions is made to prevent the tendons, when tensioned, from breaking through the duct.

407.8.8 Fire Protection If the National Building Code, of which the National Structural Code of the Philippines forms a part, requires a thickness of cover for fire protection greater than the minimum concrete cover specified in Sections 407.8.1 through 407.8.7, such greater thickness shall be specified.
407.9.1.2 Portions of bar above and below an offset shall be parallel to axis of column.
407.9.1.3Horizontal support at offset bends shall be provided by lateral ties, spirals or parts of the floor construction. Horizontal support provided shall be designed to resist one and one-half times the horizontal component of the computed force in the inclined portion of an offset bar. Lateral ties or spirals, if used, shall be placed not more than 150 mm from points of bend.
407.9 Special Reinforcement Details for Columns 407.9.1.4 Offset bars shall be bent before placement in the forms. See Section 407.4. 407.9.1.5 Where a column face is offset 75 mm or greater, longitudinal bars shall not be offset bent. Separate dowels, lap spliced with the longitudinal bars adjacent to the offset column faces, shall be provided. Lap splices shall conform to Section 412.18.
