Concept:

Maximum spacing of shear reinforcement(According to cl. 26.5.1.5 of IS 456:2000)

  • The maximum spacing of shear reinforcement measured along the axis of the member shall not exceed 0.75d for vertical stirrups and d for inclined stirrups at 450 where d is the effective depth of the section under consideration.
  • In no case shall the spacing exceed 300 mm.

Calculation:

Given data:

Width = 300 mm

Effective depth = 500 mm

Span = 6 m

The maximum spacing of shear reinforcement (as vertical stirrups)

= 0.75  500 = 375 mm(In no case shall the spacing exceed 300 mm)

Hence, The maximum spacing of shear reinforcement (as vertical stirrups) = 300 mm
