Question: Civil Engineering: Reinforced Concrete Design. A rectangular beam having b = 1 2 inches and d = 2 2 inches spans 2 0 f t

Civil Engineering: Reinforced Concrete Design. A rectangular beam having b=12 inches and d=22 inches spans 20ft face-to-face between simple
supports. It is reinforced for flexure with 3- #11 reinforcing bars uninterrupted to the ends of the span
(the area of each #11 bar is 1.56in2). The beam carries service dead load of 1.63kipsft(including self-
weight of the beam) and a service live load of 3.26kipsft, both uniformly distributed along the span.
Design the shear reinforcement and show the stirrups layout along full length of the beam. Use No.3
vertical U stirrups (area of #3 reinforcing bar is 0.11in2). Grade 60 steel is used for the flexural and shear
reinforcement and concrete compressive strength at 28 days is 4,000 psi. Use the load combination
1.20**DL+1.60**LL to compute your shear demand.
