Question

In a beam, the transverse reinforcement is provided at ___ to the span of the slab.

• A. 45°
• B. 60°
• C. 75°
• D. 90°

Hint:

For shear reinforcement in beams, stirrups are placed at 90° to the beam span to resist shear forces effectively.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

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°".
