Please select the reinforcement spacing for the entire span of asimply supported beam on a 22 ft span. Use the detailed method tocalculate Vc. Do not use a shear envelope diagram use the regularshear force diagram. Use b = 16 in., d = 27 in., the main bendingreinforcement consists of 4 #9 bars. The unfactored dead and liveloads are 2.6 Kip/ft and 2.5 kip/ft, respectively, f’c = 4500 psi,and fy = 60,000 psi. Use #3 U stirrups. Also, locate in your beamthe point beyond which no stirrups are required and find thedistance from that point to the supports and to midspan. Use anyallowable shear force reduction permitted by the ACI code. Providea sketch of your final design.
