Elements

About this detail

This structural detail shows a typical reinforced concrete coupling beam section with top and bottom reinforcement labeled as reinforcement 'a', stirrups 'S1', and alternating consecutive crossties with ninety-degree hooks. Slab reinforcement is omitted from this view for clarity. Clear cover is maintained at two and one-half inches each side, and one and one-half inches top and bottom. When the beam depth exceeds thirty-six inches, number four bars are added at nine inches maximum spacing, evenly spaced on each side unless noted otherwise. Minimum clear distance between bars is not less than the bar diameter nor one inch.
