Question
A reinforced concrete beam has a support section with width of mm and effective depth of mm. The support section is reinforced with bars of mm diameter at the tension side. Two-legged vertical stirrups of mm diameter and Fe415 steel at a spacing of mm are provided as shear reinforcement. Assume that there is no possibility of diagonal compression failure at the section.As per IS 456:2000, the maximum shear resisted by the vertical stirrups (in kN), as per limit state design, is ___________ (round off to one decimal place).
Correct answer
283 to 284
Solution
Given:
Width of beam, mm
Effective depth, mm
Stirrups: 2-legged, mm diameter
Area of stirrups, mm
Grade of steel, MPa
Spacing of stirrups, mmAccording to IS 456:2000, the shear resistance of vertical stirrups () is given by:Substituting the values:Rounding off to one decimal place, the maximum shear resisted by the vertical stirrups is kN.
