Q: The maximum spacing of shear reinforcement should not exceed 0.75 d subject to a minimum of
  • A. 350 mm
  • B. 300 mm
  • C. 400 mm
  • D. 380 mm
Correct Answer: Option B - Maximum spacing of shear reinforcement–The maximum spacing of shear reinforcement measured along the axis of the member shall not exceed 0.75 d for vertical stirrups and d for inclined stirrups at 45º, where (d) is the effective depth of the section under consideration. In no case shall the spacing exceed 300 mm.
B. Maximum spacing of shear reinforcement–The maximum spacing of shear reinforcement measured along the axis of the member shall not exceed 0.75 d for vertical stirrups and d for inclined stirrups at 45º, where (d) is the effective depth of the section under consideration. In no case shall the spacing exceed 300 mm.
