unordinary shape of RC beam - reinf. detailing
(OP)
Beam is on top of columns and it supports timber beam + rafters (roof).
I have modeled/designed this beam as 420/300 mm cross section.
The main shear reinforcement is marked red, the rest (blue and yellow) are due to shape of a beam.
Would you detail it differently? Suggestions?

If you have to have it.....I'd add corner (vertical) bars where ever there is a hoop corner/intersection.

I think no mater what kind of detailing I choose, it ll be nightmare to do in the field.
I hope someone has some better suggestion.

It is what it is; perhaps it could be pointed out to the contractor it up front so he doesn't whine too much about it.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Also tnx to others... I think open stirrups are way to go.
EDIT: I came up with this... what do you think. making the main reinf. cage and then add the smaller one.

I see no problem with forming the shape.
