A reinforced concrete cantilever beam is 3.6 m long, 25 cm wide and has its lever arm 40 cm. It
carries a load of 1200 kg at its free end and vertical stirrups can carry 1800 kg. Assuming concrete
to carry one-third of the diagonal tension and ignoring the weight of the beam, the number of
shear stirrups required, is
(A) 30
(B) 35
(C) 40
(D) 45
The correct Answer Is
(C) 40
