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.
