PROBLEM:
Using the data assigned to you, design for shear the continuous beam shown in Figure 1, having a cross-
section shown in Figure 2.

Part 1: Given a continuous beam shown in Figure 1.

B-1 B-2 B-3 B-4

Figure 1. Continuous Beam

Using NSCP 406.5, determine the values of Vu and Mu at critical sections

of the beam. Specifically, compute the following:
1. wu 3. w 5. Vu,right 7. Mu,left 9. Vc. using NSCP Eq. 422.5.5.1
2. As 4. Vu,left 6. +Mu 8. Mu,right d

Determine the value of Vc using Table 422.5.5.1 As

@ Left Support:
10. Vc,Eq. a 11. Vc,Eq. b 12. Vc,Eq. c 13. Use Vc
b
@ Right Support:

Part 2. Using Figures and your result of Items 4 and 13 in Part 1, complete the values of the shear
diagram in Figure 3.
