If the stirrups are R10 and spaced at 180 mm center to center along the entire length of the beam, calculate the strength provided by the shear reinforcement (Vs).
Beam description (repeated):
A simply supported beam with a T-shaped section is being designed, as shown in the figure below. The beam has overall dimensions of 900 mm wide top flange, 750 mm deep, and a web thickness of 400mm and flange thickness of 150 mm. A total of 7-HD25 longitudinal reinforcing bars are located in the bottom of the beam, 4-HD25 bars at the top, and 8 - HD16 in the flange. The concrete strength is f'c = 30 MPa. The depth to the centre of the bar group at the bottom of the beam is 675mm.
Question:
If the stirrups are R10 and spaced at 180 mm center to center along the entire length of the beam, calculate the strength provided by the shear reinforcement (Vs).
