Clear spacing between parallel bars meet requirement

Center of gravity of steel dcg = 3.79 in

EFFECTIVE DEPTH OF BEAM d= 17.21 in

STEEL RATIO r = Ab/(b d) = 2.62%

MINIMUM STEEL RATIO rmin = 200/fy = 0.33%

Factor b1 based on 10.2.7.3 b1 = 0.850

Reinforcement ratio producing balanced strain condition

rb = 0.85b1fc'/fy(87000/(87000 + fy )) = 2.85%
MAXIMUM STEEL RATIO rmax = 0.75 rb = 2.14%
Reinforcement bars can not meet maximum ratio requirement
