Lateral ties, also known as stirrups, are transverse reinforcement used in columns and beams. They are typically a shear reinforcement tiered around the longitudinal bars in beams and columns. Lateral ties are used to hold the position of the reinforcement in a column without disturbing the concrete space. They provide support and stability to main bars and for shearing resistant. The lateral ties stand for transverse reinforcement to develop a separate ring with a fixed spacing among each link.
