General Requirements: Frame Beams General requirements for frame beams of intermediate moment frames given in ACI 318-02 Sections 21.12.2 and 21.12.3 are as follows: Class A tension splice, mech. or welded splice TH jie | Larger of (min. 2 bars) Figure 4.19. Integrity reinforcement in beams other than perimeter beams. Reinforcement details in a frame member shall satisfy Section 21.12.4 if the factored compressive axial load A, £10, frame reinforcement details shall satisfy Section 21.12.5, unless the member has spiral reinforcement in accordance with Eq. (10-5). If a two-way slab system without beams is treated as part of the lateral foree- resisting system, reinforcement details in any span-resisting moments caused by lateral forces shall satisfy Section 21.12.6. Design shear strength of beams, columns, and two-way slabs resisting earth- quake effects shall not be less than either + The sum of the shear forces associated with development of nominal moment strengths of the member at each restrained end of the clear span and the shear force calculated for factored gravity loads; or The maximum shear force obtained from design load combinations that include earthquake effects. with the shear force from earthquake effects assumed to be twice that prescribed by the governing code for earthquake- resistant design.4.2.3.2. Flexural and Transverse Reinforcement: Frame Beams Flexural and transverse reinforcement requirements for frame beams given in Sections 21.12.4.1, 21.12.4.2, and 21.12.4.3 are as follows: Positive moment strength at joint face 2 one-third negative moment strength provided at that face of the joint. Neither the negative nor the positive moment strength at any section along the member length shall be less than one-fifth the maximum moment strength provided at the face of either joint. Stirrups shall be provided at both ends of a member over a length equal to 2h from the face of the supporting member toward midspan. ‘The first stirrup shall be located no more than 2 in. from the face of the supporting member. Maximum stirrup spacing shall not exceed + dA, + 8 x diameter of smallest longitudinal bar. + 24x diameter of stirrup bar. + 12in Stirrups shall be spaced at no more than d/2 throughout the length of the member, Refer to Figs. 4.20 and 4.21 for schematic flexural and transverse reinforcement details for frame beams. 4.2.3.3. Transverse Reinforcement: Frame Columns Transverse reinforcement requirements for frame columns given in Sections 20.12.5.1 through 20.12.5.4 are as follows: + Maximum tie spacing shall not exceed s, over a length €, measured from each joint face.

Detailing Requirements for Two-Way Slab Systems Without Beams Detailing requirements given in Sections 21.12.6.1 through 21.12.6.7 may be summarized as follows: + All reinforcement provided to resist M, shall be placed within the column strip defined in Section 13.2.1 Reinforcement to resist 7,M, shall be placed within the effective slab width defined in Section 13.5.3. + Not less than one-half of column strip reinforcement at the support shall be placed within the effective slab width defined in Section 13.5.3.2. + Not less than one-quarter of top reinforcement at the support in the column strip shall be continuous throughout the span. All bottom reinforcement in the column strip shall be continuous or spliced with class A splices. At least two of the column strip bottom bars shall pass within the column core and shall be anchored at exterior supports. Not less than one-half of all bottom reinforcement at midspan shall be con tinuous and shall develop its yield strength at the face of the support as defined in Section 13.6.Yo Mid. strip Place all reinf, necessary to resist Ms_in the column strip Place all reinf. necessary to resist 7 Ms within the eff. width = C2 + 3h (not less than 50% of col. strip reinf.)
