When bend-up bars are placed for the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams, the design calculation is tedious with traditional methods. In this paper, an improved method for the row number of bend-up bars was brought up. And the calculating examples were given to compare with the traditional methods. The results show that the improved method in the paper is simpler, more intuitional, and easier to compute without errors. Introduction In the Chinese code [1], for the calculation of the shear bearing capacity of the of diagonal section in flexural members, the section for shear design value should be in accordance with the following regulations: (1) at the edges of the support; (2) at turning points of bend-up bars in the tension zone; (3) at change points of section area or spacing of stirrup; (4) at change points of width of webs. Based on the above, when bend-up bars was placed for the shear strength of diagonal section in reinforced concrete beams, whether the design value of bend-up bar at turning points in the first row (from bearing) meet V≤ V ( V refers to the design value of bending bearing capacity of concrete and cs cs stirrup on the inclined section) is first checked in the traditional design [2]. If not, the second row bend-up bar is
