An RC (f'c=21 MPa) rectangular beam has a width of 260mm and an overall depth of 470mm. The concrete clear cover is 40mm, the stirrup size is 10mm, and the size of the longitudinal reinforcement is 20mm. Steel yield strength for both the flexure and shear bars is 415MPa. Determine the design shear strength (kN) of the section if the spacing of the shear reinforcement is 50mm.
