Assume diameter of column at 400 mm
Clear cover 40mm also add half dia of bar of stirrups to get effective cover. ( say dia of bar is 10 mm then effective cover would be 40 +5=45 mm)
Stirrups bar dia assumed as 10 mm
For hook consider 10d or 75mm whichever is higher.
In circular stirrups degree of bend is considered at 135 degree. so bend = 3d
Formula:
Cutting length of stirrup = Circumference of stirrup + 2 nos of hook - 2 nos of 135-degree bend
The circumference of stirrups =2 pi R
Diameter assumed = 400 mm
Radius (r) = d/2 = 400/2=200mm
Radius of stirrups = 200 - 45 =155mm
So now lets calculate : (2 x 3.14 x 155) + (2 x 10 x 10) - ( 2 x 3 x 10) = 973.40 + 200 - 60 = 1113.40 mm
So for a column of 400mm dia the cutting length of stirrup in the above case is 1113.40 mm say 1.11 meter
