PROBLEM 2: A reinforced concrete beam has a simple span of 7m. It carries a uniformly distributed dead load (including its own weight) of 9kN/m, live load equal to 18kN/m . The beam is reinforced with 3D28mm bars and has a width of 250mm and an effective depth of 450mm. fc’=28Mpa and fy=345Mpa. Using the simplified calculation for Vc, what is the nominal shear capacity of concrete? At what section of the beam is the web reinforcement theoretically not required? At what section of the beam is the web reinforcement no longer required according to the NSCP?

Question

PROBLEM 2: A reinforced concrete beam has a simple span of 7m. It carries a uniformly distributed dead load (including its own weight) of 9kN/m, live load equal to 18kN/m . The beam is reinforced with 3D28mm bars and has a width of 250mm and an effective depth of 450mm. fc’=28Mpa and fy=345Mpa.

  1. Using the simplified calculation for Vc, what is the nominal shear capacity of concrete?

  2. At what section of the beam is the web reinforcement theoretically not required?

  3. At what section of the beam is the web reinforcement no longer required according to the NSCP?

  4. Draw the design details for shear of the beam from x=3m to x=3.5m.
