A 6m long simply supported beam is carrying a factored
concentrated load of 500 kN acting at
midspan and factored uniformly distributed load of 6.921 kN/m. The
beam is 300mm wide and
has a total depth of 700mm. It is reinforced at the bottom side
with 3 – 32mm diameter bars.
Compressive strength of concrete is 27.60 MPa. Tensile strength of
bars is 276 MPa and steel
covering up to tensile reinforcement is 70mm.
Required:
a. Shear strength provided by the concrete using detailed
calculation
b. Spacing of stirrups if the diameter of the stirrups is 10mm.
