a Minimum beam widths for beams were calculated using #10 stirrups.
b Maximum aggregate sizes were assumed not to exceed 3 of the clear spacing between the bars (ACI
4
3.3.2).
c The horizontal distance from the center of the outside longitudinal bars to the inside of the stirrups

was assumed to equal the larger of two times the stirrup diameter (ACI 7.2.2) or half the longitudinal bar
diameter.
