What is Stirrup ?

The term stirrups is usually applied to lateral reinforcement in flexural members and the term ties to lateral reinforcement in vertical compression members.

A reinforcement used to resist shear and diagonal tension stresses in a concrete structural member.

** In this interesting session of learning we are going to provide a detailed theoretical and practical demonstration on how to evaluate cutting length of 4-legged stirrups.

Concrete beams vary in depth. The deeper the beam, the more shear capacity. When the depth is not adequate, steel stirrups must be added to increase the shear capacity of the beam.
