Cutting length

= (2 x H) + a + (2 x 10d) + (4 + 3d)

= (2 x H) + a + (2 x 10 x 8) + (4 + 3 x 8)

= (2 x 485) + 512 + (2 x 10 x 8) + (4 + 3 x 8)

= 1546 mm

= 1.546 m


Explanation


d = dia. Of stirrups 8 mm

clear cover = 40 mm


a = 600 – (2 x 40) – (2 x 4)

a = 512 mm

b = 500 – (2 x 40) – (2 x 4)

b = 412 mm
