LATERAL TIES- EXAMPLE
A building has a series of 26 square columns having a cross-sectional dimension
of 30 x 30 cm with 8pcs 20mm. Vertical reinforcing bars for each column. Make
an order of 10mm steel bars required for making the lateral ties.

LATERAL TIES- EXAMPLE
SOLUTION:
1. Determine the spacing of the lateral ties
16 x 20mm = 320 mm or 32cm
48 x 10mm = 480mm or 48cm
The shortest side of the column is = 30cm

2. Adopt the 30cm. Spacing

3. Determine the number or lateral ties in one column

7.00m ht / 0.30 = 23.3 pcs

LATERAL TIES- EXAMPLE
SOLUTION:
4. The 23pcs is the distance between the lateral ties, what we
need is the number of ties in one column, so, we add one to
be exact.
23 + 1 = 24pcs
5. Solve for the total ties of the 26 columns
26 x 24 = 624pcs
6. Find the length of one lateral ties.
By inspection = 1.20m long

LATERAL TIES- EXAMPLE
SOLUTION:
7. Determine the number of 1.20m cut from a 6.00m steel bar
6.00 / 1.20 = 5pcs

8. Divide the result of 5 by result of 7

624 / 5 = 124.8 say 125pcs

9. Order : 125 pcs of 10mm x 6.00m steel bars

STIRRUPS FOR BEAMS and GIRDERS-
EXAMPLE
A concrete beam with a cross-sectional dimension of 25 x 40cm requires 10mm
open stirrups spaces as shown in figure. Prepare the order of 10mm steel bars
for stirrups of 8 beams with the same category

STIRRUPS FOR BEAMS and GIRDERS-
EXAMPLE
SOLUTION:
1. By direct counting, there are 24 stirrups at 98cm say 1.00m long
2. Total number of stirrups
24 x 8 beams = 192 pcs
3. Referring to table (on the next slide) for a m long stirrups using a
m long steel bars,
Divide: 192/5 = 38.4pcs 10mm x 5.00mm
Or using a 6.00m long steel bars
Divide: 192/6 = 32.0pcs 10mm x 6.00m
Order: 32pcs of 10mm x 6.00m steel bars

STIRRUPS FOR BEAMS and GIRDERS-
EXAMPLE
SOLUTION:
1. Solve for the main reinforcement
(3.60 / 0.10) + 1 = 37 pcs
2. There are two-way run
37 x 2 = 74pcs steel bars
3. For cut bars @ 1.87 long there are 4pcs cut in one 7.50 steel bar
74 / 4 = 18.5 pcs steel bars
4. Temperature bars at 1.80m span
(1.80 / 0.25) + 1 = 8.2 pcs

STIRRUPS FOR BEAMS and GIRDERS-
EXAMPLE
SOLUTION:
5. Multiply by 4 sides at 2 layes
8.2 x 8 = 65.6 pcs
6. Summary total of Step 2, 3 and 5
74 + 18.5 + 65.6 = 158 pcs
Second Solution by the Area Method
1. Area of the floor slab = 51. 84 sq.m
2. Reference from table (see next slide), for 7.50m steel bars @ 100m
spacing
51.84 x 3.050 = 158 pcs
3. Order: 158pcs 13mm x 7.50m steel bars

SOLUTION:
Solve for No. 16 GI wire @ 0.30m

1. Referring to Table 3-9

51.84 x 0.437 = 22.65 say 23 kilos
