Minimum Closed Stirrups for Torsion
Minimum Closed Stirrups for Torsion
(OP)
From ACI Sec. 11.6.1 torsion can be neglected if Tu is less than (phi)(f`c)^.5(Acp^2/Pcp).
Say if my Tu is less than the above value, but I still want to place closed stirrups because torsion is present, Is there a minimal standard size that is acceptable to use?
THANKS
