Tutorial Questions – Shear Reinforcement Design for RC Beams

Q1 Design shear reinforcement for the simply supported beam in Q1 of Tutorial 1 (Design
and Assessment of RC Beams). The span of the beam between centres of supports is 6 m, and
the width of each bearing plates is 300 mm. All the other loading, reinforcement and cross-
sectional data refer to solution to Q1 of Tutorial 1.

Q2 Design shear reinforcement for the simply supported beam in Q2 of Tutorial 2 (Doubly-
Reinforced Rectangular Beam & T-Beam Design). The span of the beam between centres of
supports is 6 m, and the width of each bearing plates is 300 mm. All the other loading,
reinforcement and cross-sectional data refer to solution to Q2 of Tutorial 2.
