Study bar cuttoff or Bends. Design of reinforced structure, vol 13 by H. Nelson. or ACI CODE 12.11. Thanks

Can i have the link for Alignment charts? where can i find alignment charts? Are these available at Design of concrete structure by H. Nilson?

I think it depends upon your idealization of the structure.

All of the columns are Rectangulars. JazkakAllah Khair. Guys your coop regarding implementation of the theoretical knowledge in field will be highly appreciated.

Assalamoalaikum to all members! fisrt of all my apologies for any sort of mistake, this is my first post in this form. i am currently working as a site engineer at a consultant, working for C & W Pak. the project, my consultant doing is, the Modeling of the Earth quick effected College located at Gul Abad, Dir lower. the zone is 3. the soil is sandy soil having boulders at the depth of 8 feet below. what kind of soil it is? i have noticed that the ties spacing all over the height of the columns according to structure engineer is 2.5" c/c. isn't it very low spacing. according to ACI 318-05 what should be the minimum spacing between the ties? the longitudinal reinforcement in the columns are 8 #6 bars. (i am fresh civil engineer having no experience on site).
