A rectangular beam is 16 in . wide and has an effective depth of 26.5 in . For fe'=4000 and fye=60,000 psi, determine the required spacing of No.4 stirrups for a factored shear of 90 kips . You can use the spreadsheet if you want but you don't need to. Just follow these steps (also in the shear design flowchart): (20 points)
a. Determine the contribution of concrete to the shear strength of the section.
This is Vc=2vfc'bd.Vc=2vfc'bd
b. If VuVd2, no shear reinforcement is needed
c. If Vu>VcVs=VvVcAwsfyt(ds)=VsVd2, minimum shear reinforcement is required (maximum spacing)
d.IfVu>Vc, calculate the spacing 5of shear reinforcement using Vs=VvVc and Awsfyt(ds)=Vs
