If L is the effective span of a R.C.C. beam which is subjected to maximum shear qmax at the ends, the distance from either end over which stirrups for the shear, are provided, is
A)(L/2) (1 - 3/qmax)
B)(L/3) (1 - 5/qmax)
C)(L/2) (1 - 5/qmax)
D)(L/2) (1 - 2/qmax)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance from the ends over which stirrups are provided is calculated using the formula (L/2) (1 - 5/qmax) to ensure adequate shear reinforcement where shear forces are significant.
