110 cm
Vide IRC : 78- 1983 Cl. No. 716.2.1,
Reinforcement = 1% of cross sectional Area 30 cm
= 1% x 110 x 30
= 33.000 cm2
say 34 cm2

Steel at top & bottom = 34 = 17 cm2

i.e., Long Bars 2

No. of Tor 12 mm bars req = 17 = 15.031

1.131
or say 16.0 Nos

Provide 12 mm bars 8 Nos at top and

8.0 Nos at bottom
Area of steel provided = 16.0 x 113.097 = 1809.557 cm2
Steel in transverse direction = 17 cm 2

Volume of steel / Rmt = 17 x 100 = 1700 cm3

Length of each stirrup = 2 x 104.8 + 2 x 24.8
= 259.2 cm
Providing 12 mm dia bars
volume of each stirrup = 259.2 x 1.131 = 293.15 cm3
No. of stirrups = 1700 / 293.15 = 5.80
spacing of stirrups = 1000 / 5.80 = 172.4402 mm
or say 150
