A simply supported rectangular beam with b = 14 in. and d = 17.5 in. and with No. 3 Grade- 60 stirrups at s = 8 in., spans 14 ft and supports a total factored uniform load of 6.5 kips/ft, in- cluding its own dead load. It is built of 4000- psi light-weight concrete and contains two No. 9 Grade-60 bars that extend 5 in. past the centers of the supports at each end. Does this beam satisfy ACI Code Section 9.7.3.8.3? If not, what is the largest size bars that can be used?
