We have known this as lateral ties during our studies.
Stirrups are closed-loop bars tied at regular intervals in beam reinforcement to hold the bars in position.
Lateral ties are used to hold the position of the reinforcement in a column without disturbing the concrete space.
Both are the same and only differ from their placement. If it is placed in a column it is known as lateral ties. If it is placed in a beam it is known as stirrups. The functions of both differ for beam and column.
Mostly the stirrups are designed in a rectangular or square shape but in some cases, it may be provided in circular or diagonally.
The spacing of stirrups will be different based on the design for both column and beam. The minimum spacing is 100mm and the maximum is 250mm, based on the diameter and numbers of the rod.
The following types of stirrups are widely used in reinforcement and in some special cases the designer changes the stirrups based on the design requirement.
The single-leg stirrups have rarely been used because they are mostly used when binding only two rods.
The common and widely using stirrup type id Two-legged stirrups. To provide this stirrup a minimum 4 number of the rod is required.
The circular stirrup is used when the column is a round shape.
Mostly it is used in pile columns and also for the pile foundation the stirrup can use either Helical or circular.
These types of lateral ties have been used when the number of rods was increased.
