a)If column dimensions are 250*400mm , what will be
cutting length for 8mm stirrups and how to calculate it? b)
If beam dimensions are 200*400mm , beam coveris 25mm , slab
cover is 20mm , what will be the cutting length for
stirrups? c)Column dimensions are 250*400mm , reinf. is
12nos. bar of 16mm dia , stirrups provided are two legged,
what will be the length of each ring?

Regards

1) let cover for column be 40mm (as u have not mentioned)
formula to determine cutting length of stirrup is given below
cutting length= (2A+2B)+(24D)
A=LONGER LENGTH OF COLUMN-2XCOVER=400-40X2=320MM
B=SHORTER LENGTH OF COLUMN-2XCOVER=250-40X2=170MM
D= DIAMETER OF STIRRUP BAR IN MM
therefore
cutting length=2X320+2X170 + 24X8 =1172MM=1.172 meter
2) given cover 25mm (as u have mentioned)
formula to determine cutting length of stirrup is given below
cutting length= (2A+2B)+(24D)
A=LONGER LENGTH OF BEAM-2XCOVER=400-25X2=350MM
B=SHORTER LENGTH OF BEAM-2XCOVER=200-25X2=150MM
D= DIAMETER OF STIRRUP BAR IN MM
therefore
cutting length=2X350+2X150 + 24X8 =1192MM=1.192 meter

NOTE SLAB COVER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CAL.OF STIRRUPS
3) ASSUME cover 30mm (as u have NOT mentioned)
formula to determine cutting length of stirrup is given below
cutting length= (2A+2B)+(24D)
A=LONGER LENGTH OF COLUMN/2 -COVER=400/2-30=170MM
B=SHORTER LENGTH OF COLUMN-2XCOVER=250-30X2=190MM
D= DIAMETER OF STIRRUP BAR IN MM
therefore
cutting length=2X170+2X190 + 24X8 =912MM=0.912 meter EACH

NOTE I HAVE CONSIDERED 8MM DIA STIRRUP BAR EVERY WHERE
UPTO 12MM DIA BARS CAN BE USED AS STIRRUPS GENERALLY
i am a civil engineer. if u r a civil engineer i think u should
by a bookits name is

estimation and costing by B.N.DUTTA u will get alot of
information through this book ....i think no one has been able
to explain the correct method ....good luck
