Abstract

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) Recommendations for Design of Beam-Column Joints in Monolithic Reinforced Concrete Structures (ACI 352R-91) currently recommends that wide beam construction not be used in structures to inelastically dissipate energy from earthquake ground motions, because of concerns about wide beam flexural reinforcement anchored in transverse beams, as well as concerns about the stiffness and energy dissipation of wide beam frames. In the last ten years, much research has been conducted on wide beam construction, and as a result, changes are being introduced for the treatment of wide beam construction in the new revised ACI 352 recommendations. This paper summarizes the research results to date and presents the revised ACI 352 recommendations.
