    In the zone of R.C.C. beam where shear stress is less than 5 kg/cm2, nominal reinforcement is provided at a pitch of

    Please refer relevant IS codes (IS: 456 and IS 13920) wherein guidelines regarding spacing are given. The spacing for nominal reinforcement shall be equal to 0.75d for vertical stirrups and d for stirrups inclined at 45 degrees. d = effective depth of the section. The maximum spacing shall not...
