Question: A simple supported beam spanning 2 6 ft has width of 1 6 ' ' and height of 3 0 ' ' , and carries

A simple supported beam spanning 26 ft has width of 16'' and height of 30'', and carries a
superimposed uniform service dead load of 1.5kft(excluding beam self-weight) and uniform
distributed service live load of 3kft.
The beam has 2#8 compression bars and 8#8 tension bars in two layers (4 bars in each layer
with 11 clear vertical spacing between the layers).
Assume f'c=5ksi,fy=60ksi, #4 stirrups, and 1.5'' clear concrete cover all around.
a) Is the beam design tension-controlled?
b) Does the beam reinforcement meet the minimum specified by ACI 318-19 Building Code?
c) Does this beam have adequate capacity to resist applied loads?
step by step please!
