" Keep Longitudinal reinforcement around 4%" -- Very true: In fact Indian Standard Code for Reinforced Concrete Design i.e. IS 456 encourages to give longitudinal reinforcement (both compressive and tensile combined) below 4% of gross area.
Thanks Akash! I think the US code should follow suit and lower the limit from 8% to 4%. The 8% limit is old and comes from when butt splices were a common practice in the US-this way even when you had columns with more than 4%, the bars were not too crowded because the splices would not have overlapping bars (they were butt welded).
Thank you
You’re welcome!

Your tutorial is excellent, but it would be better to refer to ACI 318-19
@@biltektek2643 Thank you! I’ll probably refer to 318-19 in future videos. Although I believe all that I mentioned is still the same in 318-19
Hello, Just to make sure about No. of rebars point (b):
The code says 4 rebars for rectangular and circular columns.
Circular, not square.
what is Fpe ?
