It's spacing of stirrups and not a number of stirrups. D is the correct answer. Increasing spacing means lesser number of stirrups in a unit length.

Spacing increases at centre not the stirrups.

Kamlesh said:   8 years ago
Answer is D as shear force is max near support so stirrups are closely spaced near support and spacing goes on increasing as we move towards the centre of the beam.

Correct answer should be D as stirrup are required less spaced at ends and more spaced towards center because shear force is maximum at supports and zero at center so where no shear force acting, practically no shear stirrup required.

@Rh.

The Correct answer is D.

C/c space is increasing means there are less stirrups in the centre as compared to ends.

First, try to understand the question D is the right answer.

@Louis.

If shear force is zero at the centre then why spacing of stirrups will increased at centre.

Louis said:   8 years ago
The Answer is D. Because for a simply supported UDL beam shear force is zero at centre and max at ends.

Answer is B decrease towards the centre. Shear force is maximum at the end and also provide ductility. Which give resistance against earthquake.

Answer should be B as shear force is minimum at the center. Any drawing also suggests that if you google it.
