- A reinforced concrete beam with rectangular cross section (width = 300 mm, effective depth = 580 mm) is made of M30 grade concrete. It has 1% longitudinal tension reinforcement of Fe 415 grade steel. The design shear strength for this beam is 0.66 N/mm\(^2\). The beam has to resist a factored shear force of 440 kN. The spacing of two-legged, 10 mm diameter vertical stirrups of Fe 415 grade steel is \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\) mm. (round off to the nearest integer)

- Read the following statements relating to flexure of reinforced concrete beams:
I. In over-reinforced sections, the failure strain in concrete reaches earlier than the yield strain in steel.
II. In under-reinforced sections, steel reaches yielding at a load lower than the load at which the concrete reaches failure strain.
III. Over-reinforced beams are recommended in practice as compared to the under-reinforced beams.
IV. In balanced sections, the concrete reaches failure strain earlier than the yield strain in tensile steel.
Each of the above statements is either True or False.

A rectangular cross-section of a reinforced concrete beam is shown in the figure. The diameter of each reinforcing bar is 16 mm. The values of modulus of elasticity of concrete and steel are \( 2.0 \times 10^4 \, \text{MPa} \) and \( 2.1 \times 10^5 \, \text{MPa} \), respectively.
The distance of the centroidal axis from the centerline of the reinforcement (in mm, round off to one decimal place) is \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\).
