Typical Reinforcement in a Concrete Beam

Hi guys, this is Structures Explained, and in this video we are going to discuss about typical reinforcement detail in a concrete beam.

Reinforcement are essential part of a concrete beam. It resists tension forces, increase the compression capacity, enhance ductility and reduce long-term deflections in the concrete.
Additionally, reinforcement prevent cracking of concrete due to shear stresses, shrinkage and temperature stresses.

First we will see the reinforcement distribution in a single span beam and later we will have a look at multi span or continuous beams.
Types to reinforcement covered in this video are: Bottom bars, Top bars, Side bars and Stirrups.

Thank You, Saw all your videos on columns, beams and stairs. Excellent explanation with lucid video. Brief and concise. Its a great help for non engineers to understand construction. A must see for all those who are planning to start constructing their houses. once again, Thanks and great job.

[TheLazyGuyWay]

Excellent explanation thank you for sharing

[arjunabernard]

Thank you for the video.
Do the stirrups need to extend all the way to the lower reinforcements or can they terminate to another reinforcement just above them?

Nice vids very informative, sir may i ask what is the minimum or standard height of tie-beam from the footing foundation? many thanks for the feedback..

[mahendradas]

Excellent explanation but, should be more details about top bars or Crank bar for continuous beam

Hi. with what software do you make these videos? Thanks in advance.

[WWYG]

How do they workout the bar thickness?

[liboy]

Will the beam be more rigid and resistant to sagging if stirrups are arranged diagonally to form triangles as done with steel trusses?

[PBS-nmuu]

what is the spacing for the stirrups??

[internalstory]

Make a video about reinforcement of cantilever beam.

[Innotutorial]

Good video sir. Please what software are you using to create these video?

It's a nice video but I would like to correct you here that...You said when depth is more than 900 mm than we provide side face reinforcement but as per IS CODE : 456-2000, CLAUSE - 26.5.1.3, Pg no. - 47...It is clearly mentioned that if depth > 750 mm then we have to provide it and the spacing between them should not be more than 300 mm.
