Please select the reinforcement spacing for the entire span of a simply supported beam on a 22 ft span. Use the detailed method to calculate Vc. Do not use a shear envelope diagram use the regular shear force diagram. Use b = 16 in., d = 27 in., the main bending reinforcement consists of 4 #9 bars. The unfactored dead and live loads 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 beam the point beyond which no stirrups are required and find the distance from that point to the supports and to midspan. Use any allowable shear force reduction permitted by the ACI code. Provide a sketch of your final design.
