Extracted text: The width and effective depth of a reinforced concrete beam is 250 mm and 440 mm respectively. The beam is provided with 4 number of 20 mm bars in the tension zone. The beam is subjected to a shear force of 150 kN (Factored). Check the requirement of shear reinforcement and provide if required. Grade of concrete is M 20 and that of steel is Fe 415. The shear strength of concrete for different percentage of tensile steel are as below. 8mm diameter vertical stirrups are available.
