How to Calculate Cutting Length for Circular Stirrups (Step-by-Step)

In RCC construction, accurate cutting length of circular stirrups is essential for proper reinforcement detailing, cost control, and smooth site execution. This guide explains the cutting length calculation for circular column stirrups with a clear and practical example.

Given Data

  • Diameter of circular column (D) = 900 mm
  • Clear cover = 40 mm
  • Diameter of stirrup bar (d) = 10 mm
  • Shape = Circular stirrup
  • Hooks = 2 hooks (standard)

Bend Criteria (As per Site Practice)

  • 45° bend = 1d
  • 90° bend = 2d
  • 135° bend = 3d
  • Standard hook length = 10d

Where d = diameter of stirrup bar.

Step 1: Effective Diameter of Stirrup (D1)

D1 = D − 2(Clear Cover) − 2(Half stirrup diameter)

D1 = 900 − 2(40) − 2(10/2)

D1 = 810 mm

Step 2: Perimeter of Circular Stirrup

Perimeter = π × D1

= 3.141 × 810 = 2545.21 mm

Step 3: Hook Length

Total hook length = 2 × 10d = 200 mm

Step 4: Deduction for Bends

Bend deduction = 2 × (2d) = 40 mm

Final Cutting Length Formula

Cutting Length = πD1 + 2(10d) − 2(2d)

= 2545.21 + 200 − 40

= 2704.21 mm (2.704 m)

BOQ – Bill of Quantity: Meaning, Steps, Format & Complete Guide | Afroz Civil

BOQ – Bill of Quantity: Complete Guide for Civil Engineers By Afroz Civil What is BOQ (Bill of Quantity)? A Bill of Quantity (BOQ) is a structured document prepared by a Quantity Surveyor or Estimator that lists every item of work along with its description, quantity, unit of measurement, rate, and total amount . It is developed based on approved drawings and project specifications and follows standard measurement methods. BOQ brings accuracy, clarity, and transparency to project costing and tendering. Objectives of BOQ To provide item-wise detailed quantities for all project components To offer a uniform basis for contractor bidding To ensure accuracy in estimation and tender comparison To avoid disputes during execution and billing To support interim and final bill preparation Applicable Standards BOQ preparation follows these major codes and references: IS 1200 – Method of Measurement of Building & Civil Works CPWD Works Manual & DSR Mo...
