Question: For the cross section below, assuming f c ' = 4 , 0 0 0 psi, f y = 4 0 , 0 0 0

For the cross section below, assuming fc'=4,000 psi, fy=40,000 psi and normal weight concrete, do the following:
A. Compute the maximum shear demand, Vu, for which no stirrups are required.
B. Compute the reduced shear capacity of the section, Vn, with the stirrup layout shown in the figure.
Compute the spacing of the stirrups to obtain Av,min.
Note: Keep in mind that for the shear capacity of the section only the width of the web bw is relevant. The width of the flange " for this problem) does not affect the shear response of the section
For the cross section below, assuming f c ' = 4 ,
