Shear reinforcement is the silent guardian of structural ductility, and our Beam Stirrup Quantity & BBS Calculator is engineered to provide the exact mathematical precision required for onsite steel fabrication. Calculating stirrups involves more than simple perimeter measurements; it requires rigorous adherence to IS 2502 and SP 34 standards for hook lengths (10d or 12d), bend deductions, and varied spacing in high-shear zones near support columns. This professional tool allows engineers to input beam dimensions and clear cover to instantly generate the total weight of stirrup steel and the exact number of ties required. Whether you are detailing standard 2-legged stirrups for residential lintels or complex multi-legged ties for heavy-duty industrial girders, our calculator minimizes TMT bar wastage and ensures that every stirrup is cut to the perfect length for a snug, structural fit.
