Requirements For Intermediate Moment Resisting Frames A-Beams
Requirements For Intermediate Moment Resisting Frames A-Beams
A- Beams
1- General Requirements:
Requirements of ACI 21.3.2 are applicable for intermediate
moment frame members proportioned primarily to resist
flexure with factored axial forces ≤ 0.1 fc′ Ag . If such
members are subjected to axial forces > 0.1 fc′ Ag , they are
treated as beam-columns.
2- Longitudinal Reinforcement:
• Positive moment strength at joint face is not to be
less than 1/3 of the negative moment strength
provided at the face of the joint.
• The negative or positive moment at any section
along the member is not to be less than 1/5 the
maximum moment strength provided at the face of
either joint.
3- Transverse Reinforcement:
• At both ends of the member, hoops shall be
provided over lengths equal to twice the member
depth measured from the face of the supporting
member toward midspan.
• The first hoop is to be located at a distance not more
than 5 cm from the face of the supporting member.
Maximum hoop spacing is not to exceed the
smallest of: d/4, 8 d b where db is the diameter of the

1- General Requirements:
Requirements of ACI 21.3.5 are applicable for intermediate
moment frame members proportioned to resist axial
forces > 0.1 fc′ Ag .
2- Transverse Reinforcement::
• At both ends of the member, hoops shall be provided
at spacing so over a length lo measured from the face
of the joint.
The length lo shall not be less than the largest of:
(a) 1/6 of the clear span of the member
(b) Maximum cross-sectional dimension of the column
(c) 45 cm.
• The spacing so shall not exceed the smallest of:
(b) 8 d b
(c) 24 diameter of the hoop bar
(c) One-half of the smallest cross-sectional dimension
of the column
(d) 30 cm.
• The first hoop shall be located at not more than
spacing so / 2 from the joint face.
• Outside the length lo spacing of the transverse
reinforcement shall conform to ACI 7.10 (ordinary
column ties) and ACI 11.4.5.1 (beam shear
reinforcement spacing limits).

21.2.1 — Scope
Requirements of 21.2 apply to ordinary moment frames
forming part of the seismic-force-resisting system.

Distribution of Forces:
For rigid diaphragms the distribution of forces to vertical
elements will be essentially in proportion to their relative
stiffness with respect to each other.

where Acv is gross area of concrete section in the
direction of shear force considered and ρt is ratio of
transverse reinforcement.

6- Boundary Elements:
• Boundary elements of structural diaphragms shall
be proportioned to resist the sum of the factored
axial forces acting in the plane of the diaphragm
and the force obtained from dividing the factored
moment at the section by the distance between
the boundary elements of the diaphragm at that
section.
• Reinforcement for chord and collectors at splices
and anchorage zones shall have either:
(a) A minimum center-to-center spacing of three
longitudinal bar diameters, but not less than 4
cm, and a minimum concrete cover of 2.5 d b ,
but not less than 5 cm;
(b) Transverse reinforcement as required per
minimum shear reinforcement in beams,
except where compressive stresses exceed
0.2 fc′ .

For seismic forces in the other orthogonal direction, chords and collectors
trade places. For this condition, the same forces are evaluated.
