Question: A concrete beam with rectangular cross section, b = 1 0 in , = 2 6 . 5 in , c = 6 ksi and

A concrete beam with rectangular cross section, b =10 in,=26.5 in,c =6 ksi and =60 ksi. The beam carries factored dead load and factored live load of 1.9 kip/ft,6 kip/ft, respectively, over the span of 20 ft and is reinforced with 6#7 bars and you have only #3 bars to design stirrups. Assume the beam is sitting on bearings with 10 in width.
a) Find shear envelope
b) Determine if minimum shear reinforcement is required
c) Determine maximum stirrup spacing
d) Design the stirrups along the length of beam
