What is the function of stirrup in beam?
T-beam is simply rectangular beam cast monolithically with the slab. Advantage os T-beam over ordinary beam:- 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. Depth of beam is reduced as compare to ordinary beam so bRead more
T-beam is simply rectangular beam cast monolithically with the slab.
Advantage os T-beam over ordinary beam:-
- 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.
- Depth of beam is reduced as compare to ordinary beam so better headroom advantage.
- Over longer span T-beam is used rather than ordinary beam for reducing the deflection of beam.

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.
