ACI 318-19
◼ Starting with ACI 318-19, ASTM A706 Grades 80 and
100 reinforcement is permitted to resist moments, axial,
and shear forces in special structural walls and all
components of special structural walls, including
coupling beams and wall piers.
◼ ASTM A706 Grade 80 reinforcement is also permitted in
special moment frames.
◼ The use of Grade 100 reinforcement is not allowed in
special moment frames because there is insufficient data
to demonstrate satisfactory seismic performance.
◼ ASTM A615 Grade 80 and Grade 100 are not permitted
in special seismic systems.
