Question
A reinforced concrete beam with rectangular cross section (width = 300 mm, effective depth = 580 mm) is made of M30 grade concrete. It has 1% longitudinal tension reinforcement of Fe 415 grade steel. The design shear strength for this beam is 0.66 N/mm. The beam has to resist a factored shear force of 440 kN. The spacing of two-legged, 10 mm diameter vertical stirrups of Fe 415 grade steel is __________mm. (round off to the nearest integer)
Correct answer
100 to 102
Solution
Given:
mm, mm, kN, N/mm, N/mm, mm (2-legged).
Rounding to the nearest integer, mm.
mm, mm, kN, N/mm, N/mm, mm (2-legged).
1.Shear resisted by concrete:
N = 114.84 kN.2.Shear to be resisted by stirrups:
kN.3.Area of shear reinforcement:
mm.4.Spacing of stirrups ():
mm.Rounding to the nearest integer, mm.
