DESCRIPTION

Transverse reinforcement is more important in beams as shear failure catastrophic and sudden as compared to flexural failure. IS 456 suggests only vertical stirrups, inclined stirrups, and bent-up bars in conjunction with vertical stirrups. Moreover, the detailing of stirrups is not given much importance and is often the cause of failure during earthquakes. Hence all possible transverse reinforcements and their detailing are discussed briefly in this paper.
