The actual reason for using stirrups explained

Video Description

This video explains the reason why stirrups are installed in concrete beams. The video begins with a generic explanation of the bending and shear loads that beams are usually subjected to. Beams have different mechanisms for resisting these types of loads. Each load causes different types of stress whose combination presents a unique challenge. The explanation concludes with the crack development process and principle stresses that are key for the propagation of the crack.
