Maximal longitudinal spacing of stirrups (shear) – 5.5.2.2

The maximal longitudinal spacing between stirrups links should not exceed maximal value defined in 5.5.2.2. Check looks as follows. Calculation of maximal defined longitudinal distance of stirrups sl.

Furthermore maximal allowed longitudinal distance between stirrups is calculated as follows

sl,max = Coeff_sl,max ∙ φs

where:

• Coeff_sl,max  - value defined in Concrete settings - Stirrups
• φ_s - diameter of defined stirrup

 

Finally unity check is calculated as follows:

UC5.5.2.2 = sl / sl,max.
