Hello,
I am designing the lintels of a load bearing wall as deep beams as the ratio of span over lintel height is waaay below 4. My question is related to shear. I am using strut and tie models to obtain by flexural reinforcement but all I have found on books about shear is a 10*sqrt(f'c) limitation and some vertical and horizontal minimum steel, but I just want to confirm that I still need to design stirrups like a normal beam, is this correct? (taking into account the provided vertical steel).
Thanks
