Beam design

a$)$ Determine the tributary area for each beam case $($interior$,$ edge$)$

b$)$ Determine is the live load should reduce or not

c$)$ Compute the ultimate moment for each beam

d$)$ Compute the cross section of the beam with a steel reinforcement ratio of

$0\mathrm{.}02($use $b=1\mathrm{.}5h$ or $b=2h)$

e$)$ With dimension of the cross section, compute the steel reinforcement area

and select the rebar size and number

f$)$ Analyze the section designed to ensure it can carry the applied load

$($remember to include the beam dead in your revised Wu$).$ Also verify that

your section is tension controlled

g$)$ Design the stirrup. In this stage the main objective is to specify the stirrup

spacing. You will need to determine whether stirrups are needed or not. You

will need to compute the shear forces $($Vu$,$ Vc$,$ and Vs$)$

h$)$ Draw the cross$-$section of the beam. Indicate the rebar size and stirrup

i$)$ Draw the beam elevation to show the stirrup spacing along the beam
