Question: Please answer the following for the beam shown below: a ) ( 1 0 pts ) Calculate the shear demand ( V u ) at

Please answer the following for the beam shown below:
a)(10 pts) Calculate the shear demand (Vu) at the face of the left column ((:x=0ft}, at d from the face of the support, and at midspan. Consider pattern loading. Plot Vu versus x for the left half of the span.
b)(10 pts) Where (for what x) are stirrups not required?
c)(10 pts) Select a 2-leg stirrup size and spacing that satisfies requirements for minimum area and maximum spacing. Select the largest permissible integer spacing.
d)(10 pts) Can the stirrups selected in (c) be used throughout the span? In other words, is the nominal shear strength greater than the controlling Vu?
e)(5 pts) How far from the face of the column should the first stirrup be placed?
