I agree with u.

@X4vier Can u pls explain further what u mean by "stabilizing the node"?

@X4vier so, u would neglect it? ACI 318 says that u have to take into account all the forces acting on that connection. Why would u neglect it?

Hi, let's say you have to design a RC building in a highly seismic zone and your structure has highly ductile moment frames, aka Special Moment Frames. You have to design the beam-column connections of this structure, obviously. Let's say one of these connections has three beams of those...

I don't think it can be ignored. But the Turkish engineers say that we can/should neglect the cantilever beam because: 1) It is not part of the Special Moment Frame or lateral load-resisting system 2) We will overdesign the joint if we take into account the ultimate moment capacity of the...
