A reinforced concrete beam has a support section with width of 300 mm and effective depth of 500 mm. The support section is reinforced with 3 bars of 20 mm diameter at the tension side. Two-legged vertical stirrups of 10 mm diameter and Fe415 steel at a spacing of 100 mm are provided as shear reinforcement. Assume that there is no possibility of diagonal compression failure at the section.
As per IS 456:2000, the maximum shear resisted by the vertical stirrups (in kN), as per limit state design, is __________ (round off to one decimal place).
