Solution
a)cross section of beam = 12\"x25\"
unit weight of beam = 150 pcf
self weight of beam in kip/ft = 150*(12/12)*(25/12)/1000 = 0.3125 kip/ft
live load on beam = 2 kips/ft
span length of beam = 20 ft
maximum shear force in bem will be at supports
shear force due to self weight =(0.3125*20/2)=3.125 kips
shear force in beam due to live load = (2*20/2)=20 kips
factored maximum shear force of beam per load combination 1.2D+1.6L = (1.2*3.125)+(1.6*20)=35.75 kips
Therefore, the beam should be designed for a shear force of 35.75 kips
b) Given stirrup spacing = 8 inches
grade of concrete = 4000 psi
width of beam = 12\"
depth of beam = 25\"
let us assume an effective depth of 23\"
shear strength of concrete without shear reinforcement = 0.75*2*sqrt(4000)*12*23/1000=26.18 kips
shear force for which shear reinforcement should be designed = 35.75-26.18=9.57 kips
strength of stirrups = 30 ksi
spacing of stirrups =8\"
Let area of shear reinforcement required be Av
9.57 =0.75*Av*30*23/8
Av = 0.148 in2
