Stirrups Spacing using Area in Legs of Vertical Stirrup Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Stirrup Spacing = (Stirrup Area*Allowable Stress in Stirrup Steel*Compression to Centroid Reinforcement Distance)/Excess Shear
s = (A_v*f_v*d')/V'
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Stirrup Spacing - (Measured in Meter) - Stirrup Spacing is the approximate minimum spacing between two bars in a section.
Stirrup Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Stirrup Area is the total cross-sectional area of the stirrup bars used.
Allowable Stress in Stirrup Steel - (Measured in Pascal) - Allowable stress in stirrup steel is 55% of those for ultimate strength design.
Compression to Centroid Reinforcement Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Compression to Centroid Reinforcement Distance is the distance from extreme compression surface to the centroid of compression reinforcement.
Excess Shear - (Measured in Pascal) - Excess shear is a measure that can be evaluated numerically and that, in principle, can be used in an assessment of the possible magnitude and relative likelihood of seismic activity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Stirrup Area: 500 Square Millimeter --> 0.0005 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Allowable Stress in Stirrup Steel: 35 Megapascal --> 35000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Compression to Centroid Reinforcement Distance: 10.1 Millimeter --> 0.0101 Meter (Check conversion here)
Excess Shear: 3500 Newton per Square Meter --> 3500 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

s = (A_v*f_v*d')/V' --> (0.0005*35000000*0.0101)/3500

Evaluating ... ...

s = 0.0505

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0505 Meter -->50.5 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

50.5 Millimeter <-- Stirrup Spacing
