Question: 5 . 6 A rectangular beam section is b = 1 6 in . wide and has a structural effective depth of d = 2

5.6 A rectangular beam section is b=16 in. wide and has a structural effective depth of d=26.5 in. Flexural
reinforcement consists of three No.9 bottom bars and two #9 top bars. The beam is simply supported (subjected to
positive moment so the top of the beam is in compression and the bottom of the beam is in tension). Given that the
factored shear 'Vu' on the section is 90kips, and a specified concrete strength of 4000, determine the required
spacing of No.4 stirrups. Reinforcing bars are all fy=60,000psi.
-> Please be specific on how to find Vc values since that is what I am most confused about
