STIRRUPS IN BEAM AND COLUMN
A stirrup is a closed loop of reinforcement bar that is used to hold the
main reinforcement bars together in an RCC structure. In a column, the
stirrups provide the lateral support to the main bars against buckling.

Different Shapes of Stirrups

1)     Rectangular Stirrups

2)     Square Stirrups
3)     Circular Stirrups
4)     Triangular Stirrups
5)     Spiral Stirrups
6)     Diamond Stirrups

Types Of Stirrups Used In Beam And Columns

1)     Single Legged Stirrups (Open stirrup)

2)     Two-legged or Double Legged Stirrups (Closed Stirrup)

3)     Four-legged Stirrups (Closed Stirrup)
4)     6-legged Stirrups (Closed Stirrup)

Steps involved in finding the cutting length of stirrups

1)     Look at the size of column or beam from drawings

2)     Adopt Dia of the bar (generally 8mm Dia is used for stirrups)
3)     Deduct the concrete cover or clear cover
4)     Find the total outer length of stirrup after deducting clear cover.

5)     Add the length of the hook to the length of the stirrup
6)     Deduct the length of bends
7)     Use below formula to find the total cutting length of stirrups

   
Formula To Find The Total Cutting Length Of Stirrups
Cutting Length of Stirrups = Perimeter of Shape + Total hook
length – Total Bend Length

Perimeter Of Shape
Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 ( length + breadth)
Perimeter of Square = 4 x side length
Perimeter of circle or Circumference of Circle = 2πr = πd
(r= radius, d= Diameter of Circle)
Total hook Length
1 Hook length = 9d or 75mm
Total Bend Length
45° Bend length = 1d
90° Bend length = 2d
135° Bend length = 3d (Remember, d = Diameter of Bar)
