Stirrups are a vital component in construction and civil engineering reinforcement, serving as a crucial support structure for concrete beams, slabs, and columns. They are typically made of steel and are used to anchor rebar in place, providing additional strength and stability to reinforced concrete structures.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Concrete
August 31, 2016
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Concrete sometimes called carboconcrete is a type of concrete that is reinforced with carbon fibers so it’s also known as “Carbon Reinforced Concrete”; It is a highly stressable lightweight composite construction that combines special fine grain ultra high-strength concrete and carbon fibers. It has higher strength than steel with quarter of its weight.
As for…
