What is the minimum percentage of longitudinal reinforcement in RCC column?

3.1 of IS 456: 2000, the minimum longitudinal steel reinforcement for the column is 0.8 \% of the gross column area. Limit on the minimum reinforcement is specified due to the following reasons: Need to ensure minimum flexural resistance due to unexpected eccentricities that may occur in the column.

What is minimum cover and minimum longitudinal diameter bar used in a column?

4. The minimum cover of concrete to the outside of longitudinal bars shall be 4 cm or the diameter of the bar whichever is greater. In case where the maximum dimension of a column does not exceed 20 cm and the diameter of the longitudinal bars does not exceed 12 mm, the cover of 2.5 cm may be used. 5.

What is the minimum number of longitudinal bars provided in?

four in rectangular columns The main longitudinal reinforcement bars used in column shall not be less than 12 mm in diameter. Helical reinforcement: A reinforced concrete column having helical reinforcement shall have at least six bar of longitudinal reinforcement within the helical reinforcement.

What is the minimum diameter of bar in beams?
