AASHTO LRFD Code on Concrete Flexure Member Section Proportion Limit 1

[Stewie_]

Hi, Dear All,

Is there an RC flexural member section proportion limit in the aashto lrfd code? Liks depth/width ratio limit?
If not, is there something like this in the ACI or IBC codes?
Please help, Yo~

Best Regards,
Stewie

In ACI there definitely are some limits scattered throughout that infer a required width to span/depth ratio is required.

Refer to clause 9.2.3.1 for general stability requirement based on member width in relation to points of restraint and refer to clauses 18.6.2.1 for some limits applicable to beams in special moment frames. All references based on ACI318-14.
