Double stirrups in beams

[yunussacikk]

hello, since the stirrup arm spacing will not exceed 35 cm in the regulation, we make double stirrups from 40 cm beams. When calculating stirrups, does İdecad calculate the current cutting force according to a single stirrup and determine the spacing of stirrups that way? Then he throws another of the same stirrup.

hello, we make double stirrups starting from 40 cm beams since the spacing of the stirrup arms in the regulation will not exceed 35 cm. When calculating the stirrup, does İdecad calculate the current shear force according to a single stirrup and determine the stirrup spacing that way? Then, one from the same stirrup

Hello, No, the area of transverse reinforcement is determined according to the design shear force and minimum conditions, followed by the stirrup spacing. In case of double stirrups, the available reinforcement area is calculated according to the total number of arms. Minimum width(B) for double stirrups determined by the parameters.
