Principles for Design of SMRF

• Response Modification Factor of R=8

• Proportioning and detailing requirements are intended to ensure that inelastic response is ductile.

• Three main goals

1) To achieve a strong-column/weak-beam design that spreads inelastic response over several stories

2) To avoid shear failure

3) To provide details that enable ductile flexural response in yielding regions

Beams in SMRF

• Typical economical beam span, 6 to 9 m

• Clear span > 4 x effective depth (ACI 318-08 § 21.5.1.2)

• ACI allows longitudinal reinforcement ratio up to 0.025 but 0.01 is

a more practical number (ACI 318-08 § 21.5.2.1)

• Beams are allowed to be wider than supporting columns, but beam

width normally does not exceed column width

Beam Shear

• ACI 318 defines probable moment

strength as moment strength of a

member, determined using the

properties of the member at the joint

faces assuming a tensile stress in

longitudinal bars of “at least 1.25 fy”

and a strength reduction factor φ of 1.0.

Shear Capacity of Beams

• Shear Capacity

• Assume Vc = 0 when both (a) and (b) occur:

a) The earthquake-induced shear force calculated in accordance with ACI

21.5.4.1 represents one-half or more of the maximum required shear

strength within yielding zones;

b) The factored axial compressive force, Pu, including earthquake effects

is less than Agfc′ /20.

Column

• Shear and anchorage requirements for beam-column joints determine the required

joint dimensions and consequently may dictate column dimensions

• Ratio of shortest cross-sectional dimension to perpendicular dimension not less than

0.4 (ACI 318-08 § 21.6.1.2)

• The columns can be designed for the maximum factored gravity loads while limiting

the area of reinforcement to between 1 % and 3 %.

• ACI 318 allows the longitudinal reinforcement to reach 6 % of the gross section area,

but this amount of reinforcement results in very congested splice locations.
