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

RCC stands for Reinforced Concrete Cement. In a RCC framed structure, the load of the building structure is transferred from slabs to beams, then to the columns and lower columns, and eventually to the foundation. The design of any reinforced concrete structure starts with the understanding and behaviour of the structure to be designed under load.
