6mm should be in any case.

The answer should be 6mm.

The tie diameter = 1/4th of the main bar.

Minimum dimension is 6.0 mm.

The diameter of the lateral ties should not be less than 1/4th of the diameter of the largest longitudinal bar and in no case less than 6 mm.

So answer is 6mm.

I think that it is one third of diameter of largest bar.

Adithya said:   1 decade ago
Diameter of longitudinal bar is one-fourth of maximum diameter in the column, min of 6mm.

Here it 16/4=4 mm or min of 6mm. So answer is 6mm not 5 mm.
