NOTE 1 While minimum links should be provided in all beams of structural importance, it will be satisfactory to omit
them in members of minor structural importance such as lintels or where the maximum design shear stress is less
than half υ c.
NOTE 2 Minimum links provide a design shear resistance of 0.4 N/mm.2
NOTE 3 See 3.4.5.5 of BS 8110 for guidance on spacing of links and bent-up bars.
