    This document summarizes the design of torsional and shear reinforcement for a concrete beam section. Key details include: - The beam is rectangular with a depth (D) of 30 inches - The required torsional strength (Tu) is 6.78 k-ft - The required shear strength (Vu) is 44 k - Stirrup spacing and size are designed to satisfy both torsional and shear requirements, with a minimum spacing of 4.49 inches using #3 stirrups - Longitudinal reinforcement is designed to satisfy strength and spacing requirements
