"A rectangular reinforced concrete beam is to be designed to carry a distributed deadload of 2.50kipsft, including the self-weight of the beam, and a distributed live load of 2.00kipsft. In addition to the distributed loads above, there are 5-kip point live
loads, located at the midspan and beam quarter points (three [3] point loads total). All
loads should be considered as service loads and the beam is 16-feet long (simple span).
The beam width, b, is 14in. and the total height, h, is 28 in. Assume a cover distance
of 3 in.(i.e., distance from the bottom face of the beam to the center of the tensile
reinforcement). Design the flexural reinforcement for the section. Use #9 bars for your
longitudinal reinforcement. Use fc'=4,000 psi and fy=60,000 psi."
Determine what the stirrup spacing should be at the critical section. Assume #4 stirrups
are used. Use fc'=4,000p pi and fy=60,000 psi. You are allowed to use the structural
analysis from the midterm exam solution. (25pts.)
