26.5.3.2 Transverse reinforcement
a) General-A reinforced concrete compression
member shall have transverse or helical
reinforcement so disposed that every longitu-
dinal bar nearest to the compression face
has effective lateral support against buckling
subjectto provisions in (b). Theeffective lateral
support is given by transverse reinforcement
either in the fonn of circular rings capable of
taking up circumferential tension or by
polygonal links(lateral ties)withinternal angles
not exceeding 13.50 • The ends of the transverse
reinforcement shall be properly anchored
[see 26.2.2.4 (b)].
b) Arrangement of transverse reinforcement
1) If the longitudinal bars are not spaced more
than 75 mm on either side. transverse
reinforcement needonlyto go roundcorner
and alternate bars for the purpose of
providing effective lateral supports
(set Fig. 8).
2) If the longitudinal bars spaced at a distance
of not exceeding 48 times the diameter of
the tie are effectively tiedin twodirections.
additional longitudinal barsinbetween these
barsneedto be tiedin onedirection by open
ties (see Fig. 9). ' of thecolumn. norless than2.5 mm, norless
3) Where the longitudinal reinforcing bars in
a compression member are placedin more
thanonerow, effective lateral support to the
longitudinal bars in the inner rows may be
assumed to have been provided if:
i) transverse reinforcement is provided for
the outer-most row in accordance with
26.5.3.2, and
ii) no bar of the inner row is closer to the
nearest compression face than three
times the diameter of the largest bar in
the inner row (see Fig. 10).
4) Where the longitudinal bars in a com-
pression member are grouped (not in
contact) andeachgroup adequately tiedwith
transverse reinforcement inaccordance with
26.5.3.2, thetransverse reinforcement for the
compression member as a whole may be
provided on the assumption thateachgroup
is a single longitudinal bar for purpose of
determining the pitch and diameter of the
transverse reinforcement inaccordance with
26.5.3.2. The diameter of such transverse
2116 BIS/07-8
reinforcement need not. however, exceed
20 mm (see Fig. 11).
c) Pitch anddiameter of laura;tits
J) Pitch-The pitch of transverse reinforce-
mentshall be not more than the least of the
following distances:
i) The least lateral dimension of the
compression members;
ii) Sixteen times the smallest diameterof
thelongitudinal reinforcement bar to be
tied: and
iii) 300 mm.
2) Diameter-The diameter of the polygonal
links or lateral tiesshall be notlessthanone-
fourth of the diameter of the largest
longitudinal bar. and in no case less than
16mm.
d) Helical reinforcement
1) Pitch-Helical reinforcement shall be of
regular formation with the turnsof the helix
spaced evenly and its endsshall be anchored
properly by providing one and a half extra
turns of the spiral bar. Where an increased
load on the column on the strength of the
helical reinforcement isallowed for, thepitch
of helical turnsshall benotmore than75mm,
normorethanone-sixth of thecorediameter
thanthreetimesthediameter of the steelbar
forming the helix. .In other cases, the
requirements of 26.5.3.2 shall be complied
with.
2) The diameter of the helical reinforcement
shall be in accordance with 26.5.3.2(c) (2).
26.5.3.3 Incolumns where longitudinal barsareoffset
at a splice, the slopeof the inclined portion of the bar
with the axis of the column shall not exceed 1 in 6.
and the portionsof the bar aboveand belowthe offset
shall be parallel to the axis of the column. Adequate
horizontal support at the offset bends shall be treated
as a matterof design. and shall be provided by metal
ties, spirals. or parts of the floorconstruction. Metal
ties or spirals so designed shall be placed near (not
morethaneight-bar diameters from) the pointof bend.
The horizontal thrust to be resisted shall be assumed
as one and half times the horizontal components of
the nominal stress in the inclined portion of the bar.
Offsetbarsshall be bentbefore they are placedin the
forms, Where column faces areoffset75mmormore,
splices of vertical barsadjacent to theoffsetfaceshall
be made by separate dowels overlapped as specified
in 26.2.5.1.

27 EXPANSION JOINTS
27.1 Structures in which marked changes in plan
dimensions take place abruptly shall beprovided with
expansion onjointsat thesection where such changes
occur. Expansion joints shall be so provided that the
necessary movement occurs with a minimum
resistance at the joint. The structures adjacent to the
joint should preferably be supported on separate
columns or walls but not necessarily on separate
foundations. Reinforcement shall not extend across
anexpansion jointand thebreak between thesections
shall be complete.'

27.2 The details as to the lenith of a structure where
expansion joints have to beprovided canbe detennined
after taking into consideration various factors. such as
temperature, exposure toweather. thetime andseason
ofthelaying of the concrete. etc. Normally structures
exceeding 45 m in lenith are designed with one or
more expansion joints. However in view of the large
number of factors involved in deciding the location.
spacing and nature of expansion joints. the provision
of expansion joint in reinforced cement concrete
structures should be left to the discretion of the
designer. IS 3414 gives the design considerations,
wJtich need to be examined and provided for.
