Stirrups in reinforcement are also commonly referred to as "ties." They are used in reinforced concrete to provide confinement and support to vertical reinforcement bars (rebar), helping to maintain the structural integrity and resist shear forces in beams and columns.

Why stirrups are provide in beam?

Stirrups are provided in beams primarily to enhance shear strength and stability. They help resist diagonal tension forces that can lead to shear failure, ensuring the beam can safely carry loads without cracking or collapsing. Additionally, stirrups assist in holding the main reinforcement bars in place, maintaining their position during concrete pouring and curing. Overall, they contribute to the structural integrity and durability of the beam.

Why are stirrups not needed in slabs?

You will see the post tention slabs with out stirrups, they are cutting costs. For a conventional slab where you have 4 bars in your beam, stirrups are the best way to hold the bars in place. Some engineers claim the stirrups add zero structural value to the slab.
