2. Determine the exterior negative moment as per ACI Section 13.6.3.3.

−0.26Mol
= −(0.26) (221.5 ft-k) = 57.6 ft-k
Width of column strip = (0.50) (18 ft) = 9 ft − 0 in. = 108 in.
3. ACI Section 13.6.4.2 shows that 100% of the exterior negative moment is to be resisted by
the column strip.

ρ = 0.0027 (from Appendix A, Table A.12)
As = ρbd = (0.0027) (108 in.) (6.75 in.) = 1.97 in.2 Use 10 #4
5. Moment transfer design.
(a) The code (13.5.3.2) states that additional bars must be added over the column in a
width = column width +(2) (1.5h) = 15 in. + (2) (1.5 × 8 in.) = 39 in.
(b) The additional reinforcing needed over the columns is to be designed for a moment =
γfMu. In ACI Equation 13-1 below, b1 and b2 are the side dimensions of the perimeter
bo in ACI Section 11.11.1.2 (see Figure 16.21). In this case, b1
= c1
+ d/2 = 15 in. +
6.75 in./2 = 18.375 in. In the perpendicular direction, b2
= c2
+ d = 15 in. + 6.75 in. =
21.75 in.

γfMu = (0.62) (57.6 ft-k) = 35.7 ft-k
(c) Add four #4 bars in the 39 in. width and check to see whether the moment transfer
situation is satisfactory. To resist the 35.7 ft-k, we now have the four #4 bars just added
plus four #4. This number of bars is obtained by taking the ratio of 39 in./108 in. times
10 bars to get 3.6 bars and rounding to 4. The total number of bars put in for the column
strip design is eight #4 bars (1.60 in.2).

6. Compute combined shear stress at exterior column due to shear and moment transfer.
(a) ACI Section 13.6.3.5 requires that a moment of (0.3Mo) (γv) be transferred from the
slab to the column by eccentricity of shear. The total moment to be transferred is
0.3(Mo) = 0.3(221.5 ft-k) = 66.45 ft-k.
