$$A beam is to be designed for loads causing a maximum factored shear of $60\mathrm{.}0$ kips, using concrete with f $$c $=5000$ psi. Proceeding on the basis that the concrete dimensions will be determined by diagonal tension, select the appropriate width and effective depth $($a$)$ for a beam in which no web reinforcement is to be used, $($b$)$ for a beam in which only the minimum web reinforcement is provided, as given by Eq$.(5\mathrm{.}13$a$),$ and $($c$)$ for a beam in which web reinforcement provides shear strength Vs $=2$Vc$.$ Follow the ACI Code requirements, and let d $=2$b in each case. Assume that $\backslash$rho w $=0\mathrm{.}012.$
