11. (a) A simply supported beam with clear span 6000 mm, b = 400 mm,
d = 560 mm, carries a limit state load of 175 Kn/m (including self wt,
dead load and live load). It is reinforced with 4 bars of 28 mm dia,
tension steel (Ast = 2464 mm2) which continue right into the support.
Take f ck = 20 N/mm2, f y = 250 N/mm2. Design shear reinforcement.
