At left support

Maximum factored reaction R= 198.1281 kN

Solving for maximum critical factored shear force (Vu) near left support

Vu= 175.8007 kN

Vc= 328.0732 kN
øVc= 278.8622 kN

1/2ø Vc= 139.4311 kN

Since Vu>øVc, stirrups are necessary

Vn= Vu/ø
Vn= 206.8243 kN

Vs= Vn-Vc
= -121.249 kN

2/3 √ f'c (bd)= 2099.668

Since Vs < 2/3 √ f'c (bd), the beam section is adequate for the required
shear
Using vertical 10 mm stirrup
 Av= 2ab

S= 398.7403 mm
= 390 mm

MAXIMUM STIRRUP SPACING

1/3(√ f'c)(b)(d)= 656.1463 kN

Since Vs < 1/3 (√ f'c)(bd)

smax= d/2
= 372 mm

Therefore, use s
370 mm O.C near left support

At right support
Maximum factored reaction R= 401.9133 kN

Since Vs < 2/3 (√ f'c)(bd), the beam section is adequate for the required shear

Vu= 401.9133 kN

Vc= 328.0732 kN
øVc= 278.8622 kN

1/2ø
Vc= 139.4311 kN

Since Vu>øVc, stirrups are necessary

Vn= Vu/ø
Vn= 472.8392 kN

Vs= Vn-Vc
= 144.766 kN

2/3 (√ f'c)(b*d)= 3
 Since Vs < 2/3 (√ f'c)( (b*d)

Using vertical 10 mm stirrup

Av= 2ab
S= 333.9652 mm
= 330 mm

MAXIMUM STIRRUP SPACING

1/3(√ f'c)(b)(d)= 656.1463 kN

Since Vs < 1/3 (√ f'c) (bd)

smax= d/2
= 372 mm

Therefore, use s
330 mm O.C near right support

At midspan
300.020
Maximum factored reaction R= 7 kN
Since Vs < 2/3 (√ f'c) (bd), the beam section is adequate for the required
shear

Vu= 300.0207 kN

Vc= 328.0732 kN
øVc= 278.8622 kN

1/2ø Vc= 139.4311 kN

Since Vu>øVc, stirrups are necessary

Vn= Vu/ø
Vn= 352.9655 kN

Vs= Vn-Vc

2/3 (√ f'c) (bd)= 1312.293

 Since Vs < 2/3 (√ f'c) (bd)

Using vertical 10 mm stirrup

Av= 2ab
S= 1942.234 mm
= 1940 mm

Maximum stirrup spacing

1/3(√ f'c )(b)(d)= 656.1463 kN

Since Vs < 1/3 (√ f'c) (bd)

smax= d/2
= 372 mm

Therefore, use s
370 mm O.C at midspan
