Horizontal Stirrups

The outer stirrups of the bucket can be assigned to one or two 'distribution surfaces':

1. I. Surface: The first distribution area runs from the upper slab edge to the embedment depth of the column.
2. II. Area: The second distribution surface includes the remaining area of the bucket.

Concrete Block with Horizontal Stirrups

In the list of distribution areas, you can define the stirrups up to the embedment depth of the column (option 1) or to the end of the bucket (option 2).

After you have defined the stirrup diameter ds_,h, you can arrange the stirrups as follows:

• By number of stirrups : Enter the number of stirrups n_h,l. one. You have the possibility to insert the stirrups with an offset from the start b_h,l. and/or from the end e_h,l. elements.
• By spacing : Enter the stirrup spacing of the stirrups n_h,l. one.
