Minimal Spiral Reinforcing
Minimal Spiral Reinforcing
(OP)
In 8.18.2.2.2, the ratio of spiral reinforcement to total volume of core is defined. Is this ratio referring to the total volume of reinforcing steel to core concrete? The current numbers I'm getting for my specific case seem to be very high and I'm thinking maybe I'm looking at the wording wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!





RE: Minimal Spiral Reinforcing
rho(s) = (Asp x Lsp)/(Ac x s)
where:
Asp = area of the spiral bar
Lsp = length of one turn of the spiral
Ac = Area of the core
s = pitch of spiral
