12.
A reinforced concrete cantilever beam is 3.6 m long, 25 cm wide and has its lever arm 40 cm. It carries a load of 1200 kg at its free end and vertical stirrups can carry 1800 kg. Assuming concrete to carry one-third of the diagonal tension and ignoring the weight of the beam, the number of shear stirrups required, is
30
35
40
45
50

Clear Spacing from either sides of the beam is L/4, i.e, 360/4 = 90 mm.
Now, No. Of Stirrups = L/ spacing = 3600/90 = 40.
The answer is C.

When stress less than 5kg/cm2.

The Spacing of strippers is taken as the Lever's arm so 40cm is correct.

They were asked no of shear stirrups required but not the amount of spacing (min or max).

Min spacing criteria are 1)7.5d, 2)300 we use a min of above.

Here the diameter of stirrups which is 6mm min so 6 x 7.5 =45 #so spacing we conveniently take 40.

@Akash.

Spacing is 0.75d where d is effective depth not Diameter.
