Assignment
Research topics for today;
1) Standard hooks for RSB
2) Minimum bend diameter for RSB

Standard Hooks, Seismic Hooks, Crossties, and Minimum Inside Bend Diameters (based on NSCP 2015
and Google)

425.3.1 Standard hooks for the development of deformed bars in tension shall conform lo Table 425.3. l.
425.3.2 Minimum inside bend diameters for bars used as transverse reinforcement and standard hooks
for bars used to anchor stirrups, ties, hoops, and spirals shall conform to Table 425.3.2. Standard hooks
shall enclose longitudinal reinforcement.

425.3.3 Minimum inside bend diameters for welded wire reinforcement used as stirrups or tics shall not
be less than 4dt, for deformed wire larger than D6 and Zdb for all other wires. Bends with inside
diameter of less than 8dt, shall not be less than 4dt, from nearest welded intersection.

425.3.4 Seismic hooks used to anchor stirrups, ties, hoops, and crossties shall be in accordance with (a)
and (b):

a. Minimum bend or 90 degrees for circular hoops and 135 degrees for all other hoops;

b. Hook shall engage longitudinal reinforcement and the extension shall project into the interior of the
stirrup or hoop.

425.3.5 Crossties shall be in accordance with (a) through ( e ):

a. Crossties shall be continuous between ends;

b. There shall be a seismic hook at one end;

c. There shall he a standard hook at other end with minimum bend of90 degrees;

d. Hooks shall engage peripheral longitudinal bars;

e. 90-<degree hooks of two successive crossties engaging the same longitudinal bars shall be alternated
end for end, unless crossties satisfy Sect inn 418. 6.4 .3 or 425.7.1.6.1.
