1. An 8-m simply supported beam is carrying an ultimate uniform load of 84.6 kN/m. The beam cross section is 400mm wide by 820 mm deep. It is reinforced for tension with 4 nos. of 20 mm diameter rebars with 2 vertical legs of 10 mm diameter shear reinforcement. The concrete cover up to the centroid of the tension reinforcement is 70 mm. If fc =21 MPa, and fy =420 Mpa, calculate for the ultimate shear force that must be resisted by the beam, in kN.
a.270
b.272.2
c.285
