4.1. A beam is to be designed for loads causing a maximum factored shear of 60.0 kips, using concrete with f = 5000 psi. Proceeding on the basis that the concrete dimensions will be determined by diagonal tension, select the appro- priate width and effective depth (a) for a beam in which no web reinforcement is to be used, (b) for a beam in which only the minimum web reinforcement is provided, as given by Eq. (4.13), and (c) for a beam in which web reinforce- ment provides shear strength V, = 2V. Follow the ACI Code requirements, and let d = 2b in each case. Calculations may be based on the more approxi- mate value of V. given by Eq. (4.12b).

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
