In RCC beams, which type of reinforcement is provided to resist shear?
-
A.
Compression bars
-
B.
Stirrups
-
C.
Lateral ties
-
D.
Longitudinal bars
Correct Answer:
B. Stirrups
Explanation:
The correct answer is Stirrups.
In Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) beams, stirrups are the specific type of reinforcement used to counteract shear stress and prevent diagonal tension cracks. While longitudinal bars handle bending moments and compression bars provide additional strength in the compression zone, stirrups are placed vertically or at an angle to wrap around the main reinforcement. This structural arrangement ensures the beam can withstand internal sliding forces and maintains the integrity of the concrete under heavy loads. Carbon steel or high-strength deformed bars are typically used for these ties to provide necessary shear resistance.
