1. A concrete beam section with f’c = 25 MPa is
350mm wide, 500mm deep has a 435 mm
effective depth. It is reinforced with 1902mm2 of
tension steel with fyt=275MPa. Using the more
detailed calculations the 2010 NSCP, determine
the nominal shear strength of the concrete
considering the following cases:
a. Vu = 270KN, Mu = 100KN-m
b. Vu = 270KN, Mu = 100KN-m and axial
compression Nu = 180KN
c. Vu = 270KN, Mu = 100Kn-m and axial
tension Nu = 180KN
2. A reinforced concrete beam has b = 420 mm and
d= 640mm. The beam is simply supported on a
clear span of 5.75m and loaded with a uniform
service dead load of 62 KN/m and a service load
of 85 KN/m. The concrete strength f’c 27.6MPa.
Use 2010 NSCP
a. Calculate the factored uniform load, in
kiloNewtons per meter:
b. Compute the factored shear at the critical
section due to the factored load
c. Find the nominal shear, in KN, that has to be
provided by the web reinforcement at the
critical section for shear.
