• A RECTANGULAR BEAM SECTION HAVING WIDTH 300 mm AND OVERALL

DEPTH 400 mm AND SPAN 4.5 m, IS CARRYING UDL OF 65 KN/m THROUGH

OUT ITS SPAN. THE SECTION IS REINFORCED WITH 4-20φ AND 3-16φ
REINFORCING STEEL AT TESION ZONE AND COMPRESSION ZONE
RESPECTIVELY. DESIGN SHEAR REINFORCEMENT. USE GRADE M25 & Fe 500.

• STEP 1:
3-16φ • B = 300 mm & D = 400 mm
• Span length = 4.5 m
• Live load = 65 KN/m
2-legged vertical stirrups
of dia 8
• d = (400 – 25 – 8 – (20/2)) = 357 mm

4-20φ
• STEP – 2: LOAD CALCULATION:
• Live load = 65 KN/m
• Dead load = (25 x 0.3 x 0.4) KN/m = 3 KN/m
• Total Factored load = 1.5 x (D.L. + L.L.) = 1.5 X(65 + 3) KN/m = 102 KN/m

• STEP – 3: DETERMINATION OF MAXIMUM SHEAR FORCE: 102 KN/m

• Maximum shear force will develop at face of
the support.
• Vu = (102 x 4.5)/2 = 229.5 KN
4.5 m
• STEP – 4: CALCULATION OF SHEAR STRESS:
• NOMINAL SHEAR STRESS (τv): (CL. 40.1, IS: 456 – 2000)
τv = (229.5 X 10^3)/(300 X 357) = 2.14 N/mm^2

• DESIGN SHEAR STRESS (τc): (TABLE – 19, IS: 456 – 2000)

Pt = ((4 X (π/4) X 20^2)/(300 X 357)) X 100 = 1.17%
τc = 0.68 N/mm^2

• τc,max = 3.1 N/mm^2 (TABLE – 20, IS: 456 – 2000)

• τv> τc (CL. 40.4, IS: 456 – 2000); So, we have to provide shear reinforcement.
• τv< τc,max (CL. 40.2.3, IS: 456 – 2000); Hence Okay.
• STEP – 5: DESIGN OF SHEAR REINFORCEMENT
• Shear force carried by the section = (τc x b x d) = (0.68 x 300 x 357) N =
72.83KN
• Shear Force applied = 229.5 KN
• Shear force carried by the shear reinforcement (Stirrups) = (Shear force
applied – Shear force carried by the section) = (229.5 – 72.83) = 156.67 KN
