Question: Beam shear design: A 1 2 - inch - wide beam below supports two equal concentrated loads at its two third points. The two loads

Beam shear design: A 12-inch-wide beam below supports two equal concentrated loads at its two third points. The two loads are factored (combined) and have magnitude of 90 kips. Neglect the self-weight of the beam and use fc''=5000(normal weight concrete) and fyt=60,000 for all the parts below. The effective depth of the tension reinforcement is 21.5 in..
(a) Draw the shear diagram of the beam under the two concentrated loads. (10 points)
(b) On the shear diagram in (a), mark up the regions of the beam where shear reinforcement is NOT required per ACI318-19. Show calculations if necessary. (10 points)
(c) If No.4 double-leg stirrups are used as shear reinforcement, determine the spacing of the stirrups in the regions where shear reinforcement is required. Check your design with the requirements on minimum shear reinforcement and maximum spacing of stirrups per ACI318-19.(15 points)
Column design: A column shown below has ties as transverse reinforcement conforming to ACl 25.7.3. Assume normal-weight concrete with fc'=4000 and Grade 60 reinforcement.
(a) Calculate the theoretical compression strength Po per ACI318-19.(10 points)
(b) Calculate the maximum design axial compression strength Pn,max of the column. (10 points)
(c) Calculate the nominal compressive strength (Pn) if the neutral axis is 6 in. measured from the right edge of the column. Assume bending is about the Y axis. (10 points)
