COVER c= 1.5 in
Clear spacing between two layers C2 = 1.375 in

BAR'S DIAMETER db(1) = 1.375 in

db(2) = 0.000 in
db(Second layer) = 1.375 in
db(stirrup) = 0.500 in

AREA OF ONE BAR (1) Ab(1) = p/4*db2(1) = 1.48 in2

AREA OF ONE BAR (2) Ab(2) = p/4*db 2

Check limits for reinforcement, based on 7.6, ACI 318-99 122.44 in

Clear spacing between parallel bars meet requirement

Center of gravity of steel dcg = 3.79 in

EFFECTIVE DEPTH OF BEAM d= 396.21 in

STEEL RATIO r = Ab/(b d) = 0.01%

MINIMUM STEEL RATIO r min = 200/fy = 0.33%

Reinforcement bars can not meet minimum ratio requirement

Factor b1 based on 10.2.7.3 b1 = 0.850

Reinforcement ratio producing balanced strain condition

r b = 0.85b1fc'/fy(87000/(87000 + fy )) = 2.85%
MAXIMUM STEEL RATIO r max = 0.75 r b = 2.14%
meet maximum reinforcement ratio requirement

Depth of equivalent rectangular stress block a = As fy/(0.85 f'c b) = 0.51 in
