Question

Transcribed Image Text:A rectangular reinforced concrete beam is to be designed to carry a distributed dead
load of 2.50 kips/ft, including the self-weight of the beam, and a distributed live load
of 2.00 kips/ft. In addition to the distributed loads above, there is a 12-kip point load,
located at the midspan. All loads should be considered as service loads and the beam
is 18 ft. long (simple span). The beam width, b, is 12 in. and the total height, h, is 26
in. Assume a cover distance of 3 in. (i.e., distance from the bottom/top face of the beam
to the center of the reinforcement).
Design the shear reinforcement for the section. Assume #3 stirrups are used. Assume
the spacing used is to be the same throughout all zones in the beam (i.e., the spacing
for the critical shear will be used throughout). The point load is a live load. Use fo
4,000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi.
