    Minimum Reinforcement For Strip Foundations

    The document provides recommendations for minimum reinforcement of strip foundations when built on uneven soil layers. It states that the minimum reinforcement for strip foundations for dwellings should be 0.20% of the concrete cross sectional area. An example is then given of calculating the minimum steel area needed for a foundation with dimensions of 450mm by 700mm, and selecting the number and diameter of reinforcing bars required to meet this minimum. Support stirrups of diameter 8mm are recommended to be placed every 1000mm for main bars with a diameter of 12mm.

    Minimum reinforcement for strip foundations

    In those cases the foundations are made on uneven soil layers it is recommended to reinforce the strip
    foundations.

    The minimum reinforcement for strip foundations for dwellings is 0,20% of the concrete cross section area
    (hand rule).

    Example:

    Cross section area – steel bars


    Dimension Area [mm2 ]
    Ø8 50
    Ø10 78
    Ø12 113
    Ø14 154
    Ø16 201

    Distance – support stirrups (Ø8mm)


    Dim- main bars Distance [mm]
    Ø8 500
    Ø10 500
    Ø12 1000
    Main reinforcement: Ø14 1000
    Ø16 1000
    Minimum steel area: Amin = 0,20∙450mm∙700mm/100 = 630mm2

    If Ø12mm main reinforcement are chosen then:

    Number of steel bars needed: N = 630mm2/113 mm2 = 5,6 → 6

    Since there is placed the same quantity of reinforcement in the top and bottom side an even number of
    steel bars are chosen.

    6 Ø12mm Y-Steel main bars are used, where A = 678 mm2

    Support stirrups:

    Since the main bars are Ø12mm stirrups Ø8mm are placed each 1000mm
