Problem $2$ A rectangular beam is simply supported over a $30-ft.$ long span. The beam is

subjected to two equal concentrated live loads, as shown. The service level $($unfactored$)$ value of

each live load is $10$ kips. Assume Gr$.60$ reinforcement and $f_c^{\text{'}}=4,500$ psi.

$($a$)$ Does the beam meet ACI minimum reinforcement requirement?

$($b$)$ Do the provided reinforcing bars meet ACI maximum spacing requirement?

$($c$)$ Can the beam resist the applied loads $($self$-$weight and concentrated live loads$)?$
