Abstract: Reinforcement stirrup for use in masonry includes a support section and a flat stirrup leg extending vertically relative to it. The stirrup leg is inserted in a joint between constructional elements. A positioner positions an essentially horizontally extending main reinforcement. The stirrup leg is positioned in relative to the support section so that the support section of the stirrup leg inserted into a joint between two constructional elements contacts them. The positioner for a main reinforcement may be a hook. A further positioner positions of the reinforcement stirrup relative to a constructional element with which it cooperates, so that an in line positioning of the reinforcement stirrups in relation to one another can easily be achieved. Masonry construction may be provided with a main reinforcement running essentially horizontally and that is positioned with the aid of the reinforcement stirrups.

Abstract: A reinforcement stirrup for use in masonry is described, comprising a support section and a flat stirrup leg which extends essentially vertically in relation to it, this stirrup leg being inserted in a joint between constructional elements, as well as positioning means for positioning an essentially horizontally extending main reinforcement. The stirrup leg is positioned in such a manner with respect to the support section that the support section of a stirrup leg inserted into a joint between two constructional elements lies in contact with these two constructional elements, while the positioning means for a main reinforcement have the form of a hook. Positioning means are also present for the positioning of the reinforcement stirrup in relation to a constructional element with which it cooperates, so that an inline positioning of the reinforcement stirrups in relation to one another can easily be achieved.
