A simply supported reinforced concrete beam with a width b of 400 mm and an effective depth d of 650mm and a 70 mm covering has a span of 7 m. The beam is carrying a factored uniformly distributed load of 15kN/m, a 450kN factored load acting at midspan, and a factored axial compressive load of 300kN. Assume fy = 275MPa and fc' = 28 MPa. Using 10-mm diameter stirrups, determine the shear strength provided by concrete given that the beam is reinforced at the bottom side with 4-25mm bars.
