Stirrups Spacing using Area in Legs of Vertical Stirrup Formula Elements

Variables
Stirrup Spacing
Stirrup Spacing is the approximate minimum spacing between two bars in a section.
Symbol: s
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Stirrup Area
Stirrup Area is the total cross-sectional area of the stirrup bars used.
Symbol: Av
Measurement: AreaUnit: mm²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Allowable Stress in Stirrup Steel
Allowable stress in stirrup steel is 55% of those for ultimate strength design.
Symbol: fv
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Compression to Centroid Reinforcement Distance
Compression to Centroid Reinforcement Distance is the distance from extreme compression surface to the centroid of compression reinforcement.
Symbol: d'
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Excess Shear
Excess shear is a measure that can be evaluated numerically and that, in principle, can be used in an assessment of the possible magnitude and relative likelihood of seismic activity.
Symbol: V'
Measurement: PressureUnit: N/m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
