    Stirrups are mainly provided for holding the main reinforcement of beam. It prevents the buckling of beam and also protect the RCC structure during seismic activity. Stirrups providing protection against flexural and shear failure as shown in figure.

    T-beam is simply rectangular beam cast monolithically with the slab.

    Advantage os T-beam over ordinary beam:-

    1. T-beam casting with slab as we know so Its flange takes compressive stress and that mean It will resist more sagging moment of beam.
    2. Depth of beam is reduced as compare to ordinary beam so better headroom advantage.
    3. Over longer span T-beam is used rather than ordinary beam for reducing the deflection of beam.

    Redundant Truss: It is a truss that includes a maximum number of structural members more than the requirement. Using the equation of equilibrium, it is impossible to analyze. It is a statically indeterminate type of structure. Thank You.

    Distribution bars placed on the top of the main bar. Main reinforcement bars are used to transfer the bending moment developed at the bottom of the slab. Distribution bars are used to hold the slabs on either way and to resist the cracks and shear stress developed at the top.

    Here, the designers gets a natural advantage of using T or L beams in any structure with slab beam construction. It is mainly used in frame type structure. A T-beam or Tee-beam is used in a construction process which is a load bearing structure of a reinforced concrete, wood or metal having T-shaped cross-section. The vertical section (web) of the beam below the compression flange serves to resist shear stress and to provide greater separation for the coupled forces of bending.
    Therefore, in any situation of beam-slab we can use T-beam.

    Anchor bars are the bars which are given on compression side to hold the stirrups or lateral reinforcements and the main bars.
