  • All columns are provided with 8 mm dia. stirrups with 3" c/c spacing near the ends and 8" c\c in center.
  • Column C1 is provided with 4 bars of 20 mm dia. at four corners and 6 bars of 12 mm dia. in between them. The 12 mm dia. bars are marked as 'a'.
  • Column C1a and Column C3 are provided with 12 bars of 16 mm dia. bars.
  • Column C2 is provided with 8 bars of 20 mm dia. and 4 bars of 12 mm dia. The 20 mm dia. bars are marked with 'a'.
  • Column C2a is provided with 8 bars of 16 mm dia.

Procedure:

  • Type unit or UN in the command line and press enter
  • Set type of unit as engineering and precision as 0’0”
  • In insertion scale set unit as inches.

Note:

Diameter of bars is provided in mm need to convert to inch

The following table contains converted diameter of bars. (1” = 25.4 mm)
