Simplify Steel reinforcement details for Reinforced Concrete Beams
(OP)
Hi Guys
We all know that we can calculate shear at different locations then assign different link to every area according to shear forces, what I am looking for what is the approximate distance from face of support to calculate shear for second area(assume beam is divided into two zones of links and the first area will be near support),,(I need the best practice)
For moment as well where it is approximately convenient to cut 3/4 of bottom steel (As per ACI 1/4 OF steel should be continuous ), without calculations
So what I am looking for basically after getting my analysis data from Etab, I need a simplified method to make steel details without going in ACI details(Just calculate steel at major points the use simplified method)
Thank you all
Please help me with this because it is important to me

That is a minimum for general structural integrity. However, I engage in nearly the same practice as BUGGAR for typical buildings. It also minimizes construction mistakes.

For stirrups, I'll open up a tight spacing at the quarter points and do my best to maintain symmetry.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Kootk, just to make things clear, The ACIs Simplified cutoff are clauses dealing with development length, integrity requirements ,etc (Right. this what you meant)
Thank you
