SP : 34 S&T)-1987 10 Haunched Reams — In very heavily loaded beams, for example a warchouse structure, the shear stress and negative bending moment at the supports will be high. An economical method of overcoming this problems is to provide the beams with haunches as shown in Fig. 8.32. There are no rules governing the size of haunches, but those shown in Fig. 8.32 are considered ideal 8.10.1 Main Figure ¥.33 Reinforcement in haunches — shows the typical main tensile reinforcement in an end external hauunch. The main bars are carried through the haunch as if it did not exist, with pairs of bars a. b,c, etc, stopped olf in accordance with a cut-otl bending moment diagram. Bars A are placed parallel to the haunch to carry vertical links (omitted in the figure for clarity) A sinsilay method of reinforcing to that shown in Fig 833 can also. be used for internal haunches. This is shown in Fig 8 34 Fic. 8.32 Beast Hauncnes FiG. 8.33 MAIN REINFORCEMENT IN END HauNcues (See Fic. 8.33 FOR SECTION xx) Fig. 8.34 MAIN REINFORCEMENT IN HaUNCHES (See FIG. 8.37 FOR SECTION xx) ms HANDBOOK ON CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT AND DETAILING8.10.2 Stirrups in Haunches — The stirrups in haunches can cither be positioned normally to the haunch as shown in Fig. 835A, or placed vertically as in Fig. 8.35B. Most designers prefer Method ‘shown in Fig. 8.338, LINK PLACED NORMAL TO HAUNCH VERTICAL LINKS 4358 Fig, 835 Lives on Tree ts Hacscus If in Fig, 8.33 and 8.34, the h bars were placed near the outside edge of the beam they would foul the outside main horizontal bars. They should. therefore, be placed on the inside as shown in Fig. 8.36 so that two different sets of stirrups are Tequired throughout the whole length of the haunch (see 8.10). 8.11 Beam of Varying Depth — Stisrups need to be detailed individually wherever beams have varying depths and a range of stirrup sizes have to be adopted, 8.11.1 The different stirrup sizes may be reduced in number by using concertina stirrups Goce Fig. 8.12) with the legs lapped with tension lap length. The difference between the lengths of successive groups should be at least $0 mm. In order to maintain the correct size of the member, use closed stirrups at centre-to-centre distances of at least 1000 mm. Ensure that concertina stirrups are properly tied and maintained in position during concreting.

Intersection of Beams Where the main beam is very heavily stressed, however, it may be more economical to pass the main ‘beam steel over the secondary reinforcement, 8.12.3 Bowtom Steel —To accommodate bottom” bars, it 1s good practice to make secondary beams shallower than main beams, even if by only $0 mm (see Fig. 8.37). Where ‘beam soffits are at the same level, the secondary beam steel should pass over the main beam steel. Unless the secondary beam span is short, bars of diameter less than 25 mm be draped (see Fig. 8.38), Cranking of bottom bars 1s usually not necessary Ar it 45 required tnat te deam cages be pre- assembled, provide splice bars 7.6). 8.13 Openings in the Web — Adjacent openings for services in the web of flexural members shall be arranged so that no potential failure planes, Passing through several openings, can develop.
