Explanation:

  • Stirrups are closed-loop steel bars placed perpendicular (or sometimes inclined) to the longitudinal bars in RCC beams.

  • Their primary function is to resist shear forces and hold the longitudinal bars in position.

  • They are most effective in preventing diagonal shear cracks near the supports.

Additional Information

  • Compression bars: Resist compressive forces in columns or compression zones of beams, not shear.
  • Lateral ties: Used in columns to confine the core concrete and prevent buckling of vertical bars, not for shear in beams.
  • Longitudinal bars: Resist bending (flexural tension and compression), not shear.
