Open stirrups are provided principally to resist shear forces in concrete beams and they are applied in locations in which the effect of torsion is insignificant. U-shaped stirrups are placed in the tension side of concrete beams in which shear cracks would occur. However, when concrete beams are designed to resist a substantial amount of torsion, closed stirrups should be used instead.

Stirrups are provided to resist shear and also to hold the longitudinal reinforcements in place.
The stirrups resist flexure-shear and diagonal tension crack formations.
When crack forms due to shear various forces resisting the shear are resistance due to uncracked concrete, vertical component of the aggregate interlock.
