As it has been explained to me there only purpose is to support and separate the rebars in their respective locations. Other than that, they are doing the same thing as wire mesh... displacing concrete.
STIRRUPS
Shear stirrups are placed at a lesser spacing near supports in a beam because these areas experience higher shear forces due to the concentrated loads and reactions from the supports. The increased density of stirrups in these zones provides greater confinement and resistance to shear cracking, ensuring the structural integrity of the beam. In contrast, the middle zone typically experiences lower shear forces, allowing for wider spacing of stirrups without compromising safety. This design strategy optimizes material use while maintaining structural performance.
When we use a single stirrup to tide a beam or column at a time, we say it is two leg stirrup and thus if we use Double stirrup to tide a beam or column at a time, we say it is four leg stirrups. A single stirrup have two leg. _(Er. Aabid Iqbal)
helical reinforcement
steel n concerte r useless without a bond in beam stirrups resist shear foce in coloumns we mostly neglect shear effect .steel n concerete r useless without a pwerful bond this bond provides stiffness n tomake n to hold reinforcement in one place stirups r provided then concerete is filled to make a strong bond thankz 4rm talha butt..........
the top reinforcement of beam (compression face of beam). it is provided to hold the stirrups in place.
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.
STIRRUPS
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.

The pitch of stirrups refers to the angle at which they are set in relation to the longitudinal axis of a beam or column in a structural system. It helps distribute the load more evenly and efficiently to prevent buckling or other structural issues. Properly adjusting the pitch can enhance the overall stability and strength of the structure.
Hooded stirrups are traditional stirrups used in horseback riding. They have a hood-shaped top to prevent the foot from slipping through the stirrup. This design provides added safety and security for the rider.
Yes you can you adjust your stirrups whilst being on a horse
The stirrups. The stirrups are at the bottom of the saddle... They are right next to the horses stomach....
The demand for stirrups made from declined with the advent of the industrial era
Smartrider UK is one UK-based website where one can purchase stirrups. Stirrups can also be found online through individual sellers on eBay and netEquestrian.
