Reinforced Concrete Design

RCDShear in BeamsDifficulty 4/5

Determine the spacing of vertical stirrups near the left support (d) of the beam loaded as shown in Figure. Given the following data: Bw = 305 mm d = 590 mm PD = 110 kN PL = 140 kN f y = 275 MPa f'c = 25 MPa WL = 34 kN/m Wd = 30 kN/m Compute the nominal shear carried by the concrete, nominal shear carried by the shear reinforcement, and required spacing of 10 mm vertical u-shape stirrups, respectively. NOTE: USE THREE(3) DECIMAL IN EVERY CALCULATIONS.
