Have you tried increasing the secondary reinforcement sizes as suggested by the program? Try a maximum stirrup size of 22 and see if that helps.
These are the bar sizes or bar numbers as per ASTM standards. In this case, #10 corresponds to a bar diameter of 9.5mm and #13 corresponds to a bar diameter of 12.7mm. Refer to the ASTM bar charts for details.
