Question: Problem 1 A double T precast beam with the shown cross section spans as a simply supported beam over a 2 5 - f t

Problem 1 A double T precast beam with the shown cross section spans as a simply supported beam over a 25-ft span. The support widths are 18in. The beam has fc'=4,000 and Grade 60 steel. The beam resists its own weight and a uniformly distributed service (unfactored) live load of 4kft. The live load is stationary, so only shear diagram is necessary for the calculations. Determine the spacing of #3 stirrups throughout the beam span.
Hint: You need to account for both webs and the total number of legs of the stirrups.
1.5" clear to #3 stirrups
