2. An existing rectangular beam has the following properties: b = 250mm d = 400mm fc=21MPa fy = 275MPa. The beam has the ff spacing of stirrups, dia 10mm spaced @ 200mm (U-shaped stirrups). The beam will be reused and will be required to carry an elevator car with an induced Vu = 500kN. Determine the required additional concrete that shall be placed below the beam so that the existing spacing of the stirrups can be enough to resist the loads. Hint: (This is a trial-and-error problem. Try to solve by adding only 100mm and check if Vc and Vs are satisfied as per procedures in the lesson. If not, add additional 100mm until a final section is obtained)
