A nominal 8 x 32 in. simply supported CMU beam is reinforced with one No. 8 bar Grade 60 reinforcement in tension with d = 28 in. The beam carries a dead load of 1.1 k/ft (includes beam self-weight) and a service live load of 1.2 k/ft. The effective span of the beam is 16 ft. Assume f’m = 2,500 psi and that the beam is safe in flexure. Design the shear reinforcement, if any, for this beam. Make sure you make practical recommendations.

Question

A nominal 8 x 32 in. simply supported CMU beam is reinforced with one No.
8 bar Grade 60 reinforcement in tension with d = 28 in. The beam carries a dead load of 1.1 k/ft (includes beam self-weight) and a service live load of 1.2 k/ft. The effective span of the beam is 16 ft. Assume f’m = 2,500 psi and that the beam is safe in flexure. Design the shear reinforcement, if any, for this beam. Make sure you make practical recommendations.
