ACI 318-14

[JStructsteel]

I am looking for any requirements on tie spacing for shear in the new code. I cannot find anything pertinent. I thought there used to be a requirement for d/2 max spacing, has that been relaxed?

 

[MacGruber22]

d/2 is one-way shear distance from face of support where first stirrups need to occur so those stirrups pass through the failure plane - nothing has changes there.

"It is imperative Cunth doesn't get his hands on those codes."

 

[Stenbrook]

d/2 is a max spacing requirement. They do that to ensure there will be at least one stirrup within a 45 degree angle crack.

You can find a transition key from 318-11 to 318-14 at,

The old 318-11:11.4.5 Spacing Limits is now in 318-14:10.7.6.5 for columns, 318-14:9.7.6.2 for beams.

Thanks Cooper for the reference, that is what I was looking for.
