Question: A simply supported beam with an interior exposure must span a 3 0 foot opening and is limited in depth to 3 0 inches for

A simply supported beam with an interior exposure must span a 30 foot opening and is limited in depth to 30 inches for architectural reasons. The beam supports an unfactored dead load consisting of a 16 foot wide 9 inch thick concrete slab that is made of normal weight concrete with a density of 150lbcf and must support an unfactored live load of 100lbsf. You may assume b=h2 and d=h-4''
Design the flexural reinforcement to carry the moment and the shear reinforcement to resist the shear for the beam. Use #3 U - shaped stirrups and utilize 2 spacings for the shear design.
Material strengths are fcc=4ksi and fy=60ksi for stirrups and for flexural steel.
Draw a sketch of the beam cross section clearly showing bar locations, spacing and cover and a stirrup schedule showing the location and number of stirrups along the length of the beam.
