hello all
when changing columns sections why we should have the rebar bent within 1:6 slope.please comment.

RE: changing column section

I usually see the 1:6 at column splice locations. The idea is to limit the amount of lateral restraint that must be provided at the bends in the cranked bars by limiting the slope of the cranked portions of those bars. Where the vertical column bars are offset, rather than spliced, I haven't seen the cranked bar strategy employed. Instead, where continuity is required, I typically see these offsets handled as non-contact splices.

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.
