Question: A rectangular RC beam section made of normal - weight concrete is b = 1 0 in . wide and has an effective depth of

A rectangular RC beam section made of normal-weight concrete is b =10 in. wide and has an
effective depth of d =13.5 in. Longitudinal steel reinforcement consists of two No.8 bars,
while no shear reinforcement is designed for this beam. Assume the 28-days concrete
strength is fc =4,000 psi
a. Determine the design shear capacity of this beam according to ACI 318.
b. Check the concrete compressive strength limit for this beam, per ACI 318, Article 22.5.3.2.
