NSCP 2015 Section 418

This section provides requirements for designing earthquake-resistant concrete structures assigned to seismic zone 4. It addresses structural systems that are part of the seismic force-resisting system like moment frames and structural walls. It also addresses members not part of the seismic system but that must support other loads during seismic deformation. The section specifies requirements for beams and columns, including transverse reinforcement and strength ratios. Beams must have continuous bottom bars and meet strength requirements along their length. Columns must resist shear forces and have transverse reinforcement over a specified length at their ends.

Section 418
Earthquake-
Resistant
Structures Add subtitle here
This section shall apply to the design of non-prestressed and
prestressed concrete structures assigned to seismic zone 4,
including, where applicable:

a. Structural systems designated as part of the seismic-


force-resisting system, including diaphragms,
moment frames, structural walls, and foundations;

b. Members not designated as part of the seismic-force-


resisting system but required to support other loads
while undergoing deformations associated with
earthquake effects.

BEAMS
418.3.2 Beams shall have at least two continuous bars at both top and
bottom faces. Continuous bottom bars shall have area not less than one-
fourth the maximum area of bottom bars along the span. These bars shall
be anchored to develop fy in tension at the face of support.
418.4.2.2 The positive moment strength at the face of the joint shall be
at least one-third the negative moment strength provided at that face of
the joint. Neither the negative nor the positive moment strength at any
section along the length of the beam shall be less than one-fifth the
maximum moment strength provided at the face of either joint.
418.4.2.3 shall be at least the lesser of (a) and (b):
a. The sum of the shear associated with development of nominal moment
strengths of the beam at each restrained end of the clear span due to
reverse curvature bending and the shear calculated for factored gravity
loads;

b. The maximum shear obtained from design load combinations that


include E , with E taken as twice that prescribed by the general building
code.
418.4.2.4 At both ends of the beam, hoops shall be provided over a
length of at least 2h measured from the face of the supporting member
toward mid-span. The first hoop shall be located not more than 50 mm
from the face of the supporting member. Spacing of hoops shall not
exceed the smallest of (a) through (d):

a. d / 4;
b. Eight times the diameter of the smallest longitudinal bar enclosed;
c. 24 times the diameter of the hoop bar;
d. 300 mm.

418.4.2.5 Transverse reinforcement spacing shall not exceed d/2


throughout the length of the beam.
COLUMNS
418.4.3.1 t>V n shall be at least the lesser of (a) and (b):

a. The shear associated with development of nominal moment strengths of


the column at each restrained end of the unsupported length due to reverse
curvature bending. Column flexural strength shall be calculated for the
factored axial force, consistent with the direction of the lateral forces
considered, resulting in the highest flexural strength;

b. The maximum shear obtained from factored load combinations that include
E , with Q 0 E substituted for E.
418.4.3.3 At both ends of the column, hoops shall be provided at spacing S over a length L
measured from the joint face. Spacing s 0 shall not exceed the smallest of (a) through (d):

a. 8 times the diameter of the smallest longitudinal bar


enclosed;
b. 24 times the diameter of the hoop bar;
c. One-half of the smallest cross-sectional dimension of
the column;
d. 300 mm.

Length L shall not be less than the largest of (e), (f), and
(g):

e. One-sixth of the clear span of the column;


f. Maximum cross-sectional dimension of the column;
g. 450 mm.
