From load analysis, the following are the factored design forces result: Mu = 440 KN-m, Vu = 280 KN. The beam has a width of 400 mm and a total depth of 500 mm. Use f’c = 20.7 MPa, fy for shear reinforcement is 275 MPa, fy for main bars is 415 MPa, concrete cover to the centroid of the bars both in tension and compression is 65 mm, steel ratio at balanced condition is 0.02, lateral ties are 12 mm diameter. Normal weight concrete. Determine the required spacing of transverse reinforcement due to the factored shear in mm. Express your answer in two decimal places.
Calculate the required area of tension reinforcement in mm2 due to the factored moment, Mu. Express your answer in two decimal places.
