Beams: the maximum longitudinal spacing of bent-up bars sb,max
Eurocode 2 part 1-1: Design of concrete structures 9.2.2 (7)
Recommendation
The recommended value for the longitudinal spacing sb,max is given by Expression (9.7N):
sb,max = 0,6 d (1 + cotα) | (9.7N) |
where α is the inclination of the shear reinforcement to the longitudinal axis of the beam.
