Hey. Whoever wrote to you about the stirrups is saying that your stirrups are bent to a 90 degree bend. If the builder bend the stirrups to a 135 degree bend, it is just giving the stirrup more holding power. You can use the 90 degree bend, I believe that they are just trying to make a recommendation. Most new construction are using the 135 degree bend. I hope this helps. Have a good day and enjoy your build.
Hi Kenny Thank you for the wonderful comment. The other person was nasty and vulgar in the comment. I would wonder with 135 degree bend how that is placed around a rebar column. Example they make up many of the sort of like mini factory. They then slide them onto the columns often stacking 6 or more near the ends for reinforcement then spacing further apart on the rest of the column. How would that work if you had to make an extra bend ? Can you still slide them ? It is a little strange that here in Subic and Manila (Sta Lucia) the three Structural Engineers never commented about the design. What purpose is the extra bend if you know? Curious
Yes it will still slide over the rebar. All the contractor is doing is bending the 90 degree end another 45 degrees so the ends look like a U shape instead of 90 degrees. This really helps secure the rebar and helps prevent them from separating if anything was to happen. Most people use both ways, it's just the 135 degree bend is newer and most just prefer that way. Your home build is safe and secure. I always tell people that no home is safe from mother nature destruction regardless of how much wood or rebar we put in our build. If a strong enough natural disaster happen, then damage will happen and we just have to repair what was damaged. I hope this clarifies the difference between the 90 degree bend and the 135 degree bend. Your build is looking good and soon we will be starting our build in the central Bisayas area. Take care my friend and looking forward to your next video. God Bless.
Great info Kenny thanks for the comment. I feel kind of lucky in our area as we are protected from most high winds in Typhoons and not too many large earthquakes. For us the problem is rainfall, flooding and drainage. My current apartment has flooded. Hopefully as high up as we are as long as we do not screw up the drainage should be ok.
Both places seem to be coming along nicely, Thank you both for your update.
Thanks again, yes now they are beginning to really take final shape.
Thank you Charles encourage to look at our neighbors finished home in the bonus footage
