1. It is important to tie the column to the base
with reinforcement.
2. Starter bars should be cast into the base
3. These project far enough above the surface for
the longitudinal bars to be fixed to them by a
process known as lapping.
4. The starter bars are bent through 900 , so that
they can tie onto at least two bars of the
foundation reinforcement, thus ensuring
continuity from the base through to the
column. Refer to below drawing to better
understand .
These drawings illustrate some of the ways that we can arrange links to
restrain the longitudinal bars in a column.

Forms (a) and (b) show normal closed stirrups, (b)
being used if the top of beam is in compression, to
provide lateral restraining to all the top bars. Form
(c)shows open stirrups, since the floor slab
reinforcement will provide the closing steel. Form
(d)is a wide beam in which sufficient stirrups are
used to ensure the rigidity of the cage. Form (e) is
a deep beam where nominal face reinforcement of
the sides of beam stiffens the stirrups when the
concrete is placed, and prevents cracking of the
beam sides.
In case stirrups are not enough to counteract the
shearing forces in the beam we use bent up bars
se figure below.
