The followings should be observed in placing of longitudinal steel bars for bending Re Cl 9.2.1 and 9.9.1 of the Code The requirements arising from
“ductility” requirements are marked with “D”:
generally (Table 9.1 of the Code) and 0.3% in accordance with Cl 9.9.1 of the Code for ductility requirements (D); except for beams subject to pure tension which requires 0.45% as in Table 9.1;
Trang 29.9.1.2(a)) (D) Maximum tension steel percentage : 4% at location outside critical section (Cl 9.2.1.3 of the Code);
required for ultimate design, Table 9.1 of the Code should be followed
by providing 0.2% for rectangular beam and different percentages for others In addition, at any section of a beam within a critical zone (a zone extending from the column face to twice the beam depth for beam contributing in the lateral resisting system as described in Cl 9.9.1.1 which is a potential plastic hinge zone as discussed in Section 2.4 and illustrated in Figure 3.11) the compression reinforcement ≥ one-half of the tension reinforcement in the same region (Cl 9.9.1.2(a) of the Code) (D) The reason of limiting tension steel in (ii) and at the same time requiring compression steel not less than half of that of tension steel in “critical regions” is because tensile steel decreases ductility while compression steel increases ductility as discussed by Law (2011) The requirements thus ensure certain level of ductility in the beam;

(vii) Type 2 couplers, can however, be used anywhere in the beam as per Cl
9.9.1.2(e) of the Code (D) The reason is that the Type 2 couplers are stronger and are tested to be able to resist cyclic tension and compression loads which are simulating seismic actions;
(viii) By Cl 9.9.1.2(f) of the Code, a general requirement is stated that
distribution and curtailment of longitudinal bar shall be such that the flexural overstrength will be within the critical section (D)

compression steel bars in beam is identical to that of column as described in Cl 9.5.2 of the Code :
(1) Every corner bar and each alternate bar (and bundle) in an outer layer should be supported by a link passing around the bar and having an included angle 135o;
(2) Links should be adequately anchored by means of hook through a bent angle ≥ 135o;
(3) No bar within a compression zone be more than 150 mm from a restrained bar supported / anchored by links as stated in (1) or (2)
as illustrated in Figure 3.15
In addition, in accordance with Cl 9.5.2 of the Code, spacing of links along the beam should not exceed the least of :
(1) 12 times smallest longitudinal bar diameter;
(2) The lesser beam dimension; and (3) 400mm;
(xiii) No tension bars should be more than 150 mm from a vertical leg (link)
