Any suggestions for this reinforced concrete special moment frame? 4

So i got this short span beam generating high shear & moment which then requires increase in section size. Doing so would end up with a deep beam which i'd rather not do. Im thinking of not including the circled parts for SMF and only have those beams carry gravity loads. But how would it be constructed in actual? If i were to design those specific beams as non - ductile beam so i can get away with small cross section, concrete pouring will, i believe always incorporate a degree of fixity on the connection whether i design it as fixed or pinned. Any thoughts on this?

thank you and i hope everyone have a nice day!

Interesting details especially from KootK.

Any thoughts on where construction joints should be for this frame and would a construction joint affect moment resistance ?
