The second beam shown below (top in compression, bottom in tension). Assume normal weight concrete with strength \( f_{c}^{\prime}=6,000\mathrm{psi}\) and max aggregate size of \(3/4\)". Assume epoxy-coated Grade 60 steel. The beam is exposed to weather. The beam design requires you to place \#3 stirrups and six \#7 bars in the section. You must satisfy all ACI 318-19 rebar detail and spacing requirements. [2 points total]
a. Place the designated bars in the cross section to maximize the depth \( d \) to the centroid of the tension steel. Then draw (to-scale) and dimension the cross section showing at least the following information [1.5 points]:
i. Depth \( d \), width \( b \), and total section height \( h \)
ii. Distance from bottom of section up to the center of each steel layer
iii. Smallest horizontal clear spacing between two longitudinal bars
b. Compute the development length of the epoxy-coated \#7 bars. [0.5 points]
Hint: Note that the epoxy-coating development length factor depends on the clear cover and clear spacing of the bars. It's either 1.2 or 1.5; make sure you use the correct factor.
