Q$2.$ A beam is to be designed with a step of $150$ mm $,$ and the moments and shear forces at the boundaries of the associated D$-$regions under a uniform load of $100$ kN$/$m are shown in Fig. Q$-2.$ Construct a strut$-$and$-$tie model, and determine the forces, $C_1,C_2,$ and $T,$ in the strut and tie members suggested in the figure. Sketch the required steel reinforcement. You need not calculate the required steel areas, or check the strength of struts and nodes.
