Civil Engineering MCQAE Level Civil Engineering
As per IS 456:2000, the maximum spacing of shear reinforcement (stirrups) in an RCC beam is:
RCCMaximum Spacing of StirrupsMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
300 mm or 0.75d whichever is less
B
0.5d or 200 mm
C
d or 250 mm
D
0.75d or 300 mm — minimum of these
Correct Answer
D. 0.75d or 300 mm — minimum of these
Why is this the answer?
IS 456:2000 Cl. 26.5.1.5: Maximum spacing of stirrups = minimum of 0.75d and 300 mm (for vertical stirrups). This ensures adequate shear coverage throughout the beam.
