Question:
In a beam, the transverse reinforcement is provided at ___ to the span of the slab.
In a beam, the transverse reinforcement is provided at ___ to the span of the slab.
Show Hint
For shear reinforcement in beams, stirrups are placed at 90° to the beam span to resist shear forces effectively.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In beams, the transverse reinforcement (stirrups) is provided perpendicular to the beam span, i.e., at 90° to the span of the slab, to resist shear forces. Hence, the correct answer is "90°".
