Dear all,
as we all know that sap2000 gives the moment (m11 , m22 using finite element design method in unit width).
ACI318-08 STATE THE FOLLOWING:
13.5.3.2 — A fraction of the unbalanced moment
given by γfMu shall be considered to be transferred by
flexure within an effective slab width between lines that
are one and one-half slab or drop panel thickness
(1.5h) outside opposite faces of the column or capital,
where Mu is the factored moment to be transferred.
My specific question:
does the previous requirement applies only if the analysis is carried out using the code methods ( Direct Design Method or Equivalent Frame Method) ??
and if not , how can we calculate the flexure unbalanced moment required by aci318-08 code specially that the moments (m11&m22) by sap2000 are given in unit width???
thanks in advance
