A flat component of metal configured to provide a shear force reinforcing element (Q) and suitable for mounting a stirrup (30) thereto, comprising a lower section, configured for connection with a lower longitudinal reinforcement of a reinforced or prestressed concrete component, wherein the flat component has an angled longitudinal recess (23) ending in a fastening region (BF) and having a feed channel (S) connected thereto and opening to a vertical side edge or an upper horizontal edge of the flat component, wherein the feed channel has a feed angle ζ of between 10° to 120° to the horizontal and the fastening region (BF) is either horizontal or slightly inclined upwards as it extends away from the feed channel and toward a vertical centerline (M) of the flat component, and
- wherein the feed channel (S) is straight or arcuate and terminates in an opening (29) capable of feeding a stirrup arch (34), and further including
- a first recess (25a) on a lower edge of the feed channel (S) adjacent the opening (29) and
- a second (26a) recess on an outer edge of the flat component adjacent the opening (29),
- the two recesses opening generally in opposite directions so as to enable mounting a clip plate part (24a) for securing the stirrup (30) in the fastening region (BF).
