A rectangular beam having b = 300 mm, h = 620 mm and d = 550 mm spans 6-m

face-to-face of simple supports. It is reinforced for flexure with 3-φ36 mm bars that

continue uninterrupted to the ends of the span. It is to carry service dead load DL = 24

kN/m (including self weight) and service live load LL = 47 kN/m, both uniformly

distributed along the span. Material strengths are f'c = 28 MPa and fy = 415 MPa.

38. If the beam will be subjected to a factored axial compression load of 588 kN in

addition to the loads described earlier determine the nominal concrete shear

strength using more detailed computation.
