Standard hook Used for Reinforcement:
Every project has “hooked” reinforcing shown in at least one detail. Many
drawings refer to “standard hooks” and show hooked bars in specific areas for top
and bottom reinforcing.
Minimum Diameters of Bend:
The minimum diameter Øm (mandrel diameter) to which a bar is bent shall be such
to avoid bending cracks to the bar and ensure the integrity of concrete inside
the bent of the bar where large forces appear.

Bending In Reinforcement:
Bending of bars is defined as the process of bending reinforcing steel into shapes
required for reinforced concrete construction. Here, the term D is diameter
of reinforcing steel. Bar bending schedule is a list of the steel reinforcement, which
is used in the concrete structure.
Surface Condition of Reinforcement:
AS 3600, Clause 19.2. 4 states: “At the time concrete is placed, the surface
condition of reinforcement shall be such as not to impair its bond to the concrete or
its performance in the member. ... Rain may wash rust off reinforcing steel laid in
formwork such that it stains visible concrete.
At the time concrete is placed, reinforcement shall be free from mud, oil, or other
nonmetallic coatings that decrease bond. Prestressing steel shall be clean and free
of oil, dirt, scale, pitting and excessive rust. A light coating of rust shall be
permitted.
Placing of Reinforcement:
Incorrect reinforcing steel placement can and has led to serious concrete structural
failures. Placing reinforcement atop a layer of fresh concrete and
then pouring more on top is not an acceptable method for positioning. You must
use reinforcing bar supports, which are made of steel wire, precast concrete, or
plastic.
Tolerance of Reinforcement:
Tolerances in construction are generally a variation in a
dimension, construction limit, or physical char- acteristic of a material. They are a
practical variation related to the function of the material or finished work and
commonly accepted standards of the construction industry.
Tolerances for d and for concrete cover in flexural members, walls, and
compression members shall be as follows:

Spacing Limits For Reinforcement:
The maximum spacing between two parallel main reinforcing bars in caseof RCC
Slab shall be 3d or 300 mm or whichever is less. the maximum spacing between
two secondaryparallel bars in case of RCC Slab shall be 5d or 450 mm or
whichever is less.
Bundled Bars:
A group of parallel reinforcing bars (not exceeding four in number) in contact with
each other, enclosed in stirrups or ties; used
as reinforcement in reinforced concrete.Groups of parallel reinforcing bars bundled
in contact to act as a unit shall be limited to four in any one bundle.Individual bars
within a bundle terminated within the span of flexural members shall terminate at
different points with at least 40db stagger.
Where spacing limitations or concrete cover requirements are based on bar
diameter, db, a unit of bundled bars shall be treated as a single bar of a diameter
derived from the equivalent total area.
Bars larger than No. 36 shall not be bundled in beams.
Tendons and Ducts:
Center-to-center spacing of Pretensioning tendons at each end of a member shall
be not less than 4db for strands, or 5db for wire, except that if specified
compressive strength of concrete at time of initial process.Bundling of post-
tensioning ducts shall be permitted if shown that concrete can be satisfactorily
placed and if provision is made to prevent the prestressing steel, when tensioned,
from breaking through the duct.

Concrete Protection for Reinforcement:
1- Cast-in-place concrete (nonprestressed)
2- Cast-in-place concrete (prestressed)
Headed Shear and Stud Reinforcement:
Shear studs refer to the installation of steel pins or grommets, that extend out of the
top flange of a steel support beam. Normally the shear studs are welded, with a
spot welder, after the metal deck is installed over the supporting structural steel. ...
The stud will have failed due to a shear force.
Stud Rail is a double-headed stud anchor (DSA) reinforcement system, typically
used for concrete deck-to- column connections. The system is designed to transfer
the load further into the concrete deck, create a larger shear area around the
column, and resist punching shear forces.
Corrosive Environment of Reinforcement:
In corrosive environments or other severe exposure conditions, amount of concrete
protection shall be suitably increased, and the pertinent requirements for concrete
based on applicable exposure categories.
Future Extension of Reinforcement:
Exposed reinforcement, inserts, and plates intended for bonding with future
extensions shall be protected from corrosion.
Column Reinforcement Details:
Columns are essentially required with the primary longitudinal reinforcement and
lateral ties to avoid buckling of the primary bars. The details of minimum and
maximum limits of reinforcements, minimum no.
Offset Bars : Offset bent longitudinal bars shall conform to
the following:

1. The maximum slope of inclined portion of an offset bar with axis of
column shall not exceed 1 in 6.
2. Portions of bar above and below an offset shall be parallel to the axis of
column.
Horizontal supportat offset bends shall be provided by lateral ties,
spirals, or parts of the floor construction. Horizontal supportprovided
shall be designed to resist 1.5 times the horizontal componentof the
computed force in the inclined portion of the offset bars. Lateral ties or
spirals, if used, shall be placed not more than 150 mm away from points
of bend.
3. Offset bars shall be bent before placement in the forms (see the table
below). Where the face of the column above is offset 75 mm or more
from the face of the column below, longitudinal bars shall not be
permitted to be offset bent. The longitudinal bars adjacent to the offset
column faces shall be lap spliced using separate dowels.

Steel Cores:Load transfer in structural steel cores of compositecompression
members shall be provided by the following:

1. Ends of structural steel cores shall be accurately finished to bear at end
bearing splices, with positive provision for alignment of one core above
the other in concentric contact.
2. At end bearing splices, bearing shall be considered effective to transfer
not more than 50 per cent of the total compressive stress in the steel core.
3. Base of structural steel section shall be designed to transfer the total load
from the entire compositemember to the footing; or, the base shall be

concrete section is available for transfer of the portion of the total load
carried by the reinforced concrete section to the footing by compression
in the concrete and by reinforcement.
