According to IS 456:2000, the Indian Standard for plain and reinforced concrete, the minimum spacing for stirrups in beams is specified as follows:

 

Minimum Spacing: The spacing of stirrups should not exceed:

300 mm for beams in general.

For beams subjected to high shear, it may need to be reduced further based on the design requirements.

Minimum Clear Spacing: The clear spacing between stirrups should be at least 25 mm or the diameter of the stirrup bar, whichever is greater.

 

These specifications help ensure adequate shear resistance and structural stability. Always refer to the specific design conditions and local regulations when applying these standards.
