Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shear stirrups are provided for a distance from either end where the shear force is significant. For a simply supported beam, the shear force is maximum at the supports and decreases towards the center. Typically, stirrups are provided up to a distance of about 1/4 to 1/3 of the span from the supports. For a 6 m span, 1/4 of the span is 1.5 m, which corresponds to 150 cm.
