== 18.14.1 Scope

=== 18.14.1.1 This section shall apply to members not designated
as part of the seismic-force-resisting system in structures
assigned to SDC D, E, and F.

== 18.14.2 Design actions

=== 18.14.2.1 Members not designated as part of the seismic-force-
resisting system shall be evaluated for gravity load
combinations of 5.3 including the effect of vertical ground
motion acting simultaneously with the design displacement δu.

= R18.14 — Members not designated as part of the
seismic-force-resisting system_
 This section applies only to structures assigned to SDC
D, E, or F. For those SDCs, all structural members not
designated as a part of the seismic-force-resisting system
are required to be designed to support gravity loads and the
load effects of vertical ground motion, while subjected to the
design displacement. For concrete structures, the provisions
of this section satisfy this requirement for columns, beams,
slabs, and wall piers of the gravity system.
 Design displacement is defined in Chapter 2. Models
used to determine design displacement of buildings should
be chosen to produce results that conservatively bound the
values expected during the design earthquake and should
include, as appropriate, effects of concrete cracking, foundation
flexibility, and deformation of floor and roof diaphragms.
 The provisions of 18.14 are intended to enable ductile
flexural yielding of columns, beams, slabs, and wall piers
under the design displacement, by providing sufficient
confinement and shear strength in elements that yield.

== 18.14.3 Cast-in-place beams, columns, and joints

=== 18.14.3.1 Cast-in-place beams, columns, and joints
shall be detailed in accordance with 18.14.3.2 or 18.14.3.3
depending on the magnitude of moments and shears induced
in those members when subjected to the design displacement
δu. If effects of δu are not explicitly checked, the provisions
of 18.14.3.3 shall be satisfied.

== R18.14.3 Cast-in-place beams, columns, and joints

=== R18.14.3.1 Cast-in-place columns and beams are assumed
to yield if the combined effects of factored gravity loads and
design displacements exceed the strengths specified, or if the
effects of design displacements are not calculated. Requirements
for transverse reinforcement and shear strength vary
with member type and whether the member yields under the
design displacement.

=== 18.14.3.2 Where the induced moments and shears do not
exceed the design moment and shear strength of the frame
member, (a) through (d) shall be satisfied:

(a) Beams shall satisfy 18.6.3.1. Transverse reinforcement
shall be provided throughout the length of the beam
at spacing not to exceed d/2. Where factored axial force
exceeds Ag fc′/10, transverse reinforcement shall be hoops
satisfying 18.7.5.2 at a spacing not to exceed the lesser of
6db of the smallest enclosed longitudinal bar and 150 mm.
(b) Columns shall satisfy 18.7.4.1 and 18.7.6. Spiral reinforcement
satisfying 25.7.3 or hoop reinforcement satisfying
25.7.4 shall be provided over the full length of the
column with spacing not to exceed the lesser of 6db of
the smallest enclosed longitudinal bar and 150 mm Transverse
reinforcement satisfying 18.7.5.2(a) through (e)
shall be provided over a length ℓo, as defined in 18.7.5.1,
from each joint face.
(c) Columns with factored gravity axial forces exceeding
0.35Po shall satisfy 18.14.3.2(b) and 18.7.5.7. The minimum
amount of transverse reinforcement provided shall be, for
rectilinear hoops, one-half the greater of Table 18.7.5.4
parts (a) and (b) and, for spiral or circular hoops, one-half
the greater of Table 18.7.5.4 parts (d) and (e). This transverse

=== 18.14.3.2 Continuation
reinforcement shall be provided over a length ℓo, as defined
in 18.7.5.1, from each joint face.
(d) Joints shall satisfy Chapter 15.

=== 18.14.3.3 Where the induced moments or shears exceed
ϕMn or ϕVn of the frame member, or if induced moments or
shears are not calculated, (a) through (d) shall be satisfied:
(a) Materials, mechanical splices, and welded splices shall
satisfy the requirements for special moment frames in
18.2.5 through 18.2.8.
(b) Beams shall satisfy 18.14.3.2(a) and 18.6.5.
(c) Columns shall satisfy 18.7.4, 18.7.5, and 18.7.6.
(d) Joints shall satisfy 18.4.4.1.

== 18.14.4 Precast beams and columns

=== 18.14.4.1 Precast concrete frame members assumed not to
contribute to lateral resistance, including their connections,
shall satisfy (a) through (d):
(a) Requirements of 18.14.3
(b) Ties specified in 18.14.3.2(b) over the entire column
height, including the depth of the beams
(c) Structural integrity reinforcement, in accordance with
4.10
(d) Bearing length at the support of a beam shall be at least
50 mm longer than determined from 16.2.6

== R18.14.4 Precast beams and columns

=== R18.14.4.1 Damage to some buildings with precast
concrete gravity systems during the 1994 Northridge earthquake
was attributed to several factors addressed in this
section. Columns should contain ties over their entire height,
frame members not proportioned to resist earthquake forces
should be tied together, and longer bearing lengths should
be used to maintain integrity of the gravity system during
ground motion. The 50 mm increase in bearing length is
based on an assumed 4 percent story drift ratio and 1.3 m
beam depth, and is considered to be conservative for the
ground motions expected for structures assigned to SDC D,
E, or F. In addition to this provision, precast frame members
assumed not to contribute to lateral resistance should also
satisfy the requirements for cast-in-place construction
addressed in 18.14.3, as applicable.

== 18.14.5 Slab-column connections

=== 18.14.5.1 For slab-column connections of two-way slabs
without beams, slab shear reinforcement satisfying the
requirements of 18.14.5.3 and either 8.7.6 or 8.7.7 shall be
provided at any slab critical section defined in 22.6.4.1 for
the following conditions:
(a) Nonprestressed slabs where Δx/hsx ≥ 0.035 – 0.05vuv/(ϕvc)
(b) Unbonded post-tensioned slabs with fpc in each direction
meeting the requirements of 8.6.2.1, where Δx/hsx ≥
0.040 – 0.05vuv/(ϕvc)
The load combinations to be evaluated for vuv shall only
include those with E. The value of (Δx/hsx) shall be taken as
the greater of the values of the adjacent stories above and below
the slab-column connection, vc shall be calculated in accordance
with 22.6.5; and, for unbonded post-tensioned slabs, the
value of Vp shall be taken as zero when calculating vc.

== R18.14.5 Slab-column connections

=== R18.14.5.1 Provisions for shear reinforcement at slabcolumn
connections are intended to reduce the likelihood
of slab punching shear failure if the design story drift ratio
exceeds the value specified.
 No calculation of induced moments is required, based on
research (Megally and Ghali 2002; Moehle 1996; Kang and
Wallace 2006; Kang et al. 2007) that identifies the likelihood
of punching shear failure considering the story drift
ratio and shear stress vuv due to gravity loads and the vertical
component of earthquake loads, without moment transfer,
about the slab critical section. Figure R18.14.5.1 illustrates
the requirement for nonprestressed and unbonded posttensioned
slab-column connections. The requirement can be
satisfied by adding slab shear reinforcement, increasing slab
thickness, changing the design to reduce the design story
drift ratio, or a combination of these.
 If column capitals, drop panels, shear caps, or other
changes in slab thickness are used, the requirements of
18.14.5 are evaluated at all potential critical sections, as
required by 22.6.5.1.

=== R18.14.5.1 Continuation
Post-tensioned slab-column connections with fpc in each
direction not meeting the requirements of 8.6.2.1 can be
designed as nonprestressed slab-column connections in
accordance with 8.2.3._

=== 18.14.5.2 The shear reinforcement requirements of
18.14.5.1 need not be satisfied if (a) or (b) is met:
(a) Δx/hsx ≤ 0.005 for nonprestressed slabs
(b) Δx/hsx ≤ 0.01 for unbonded post-tensioned slabs with
fpc in each direction meeting the requirements of 8.6.2.1

=== 18.14.5.3 Required slab shear reinforcement shall provide
vs ≥ 0.29 sqrt(fc') at the slab critical section and shall extend
at least four times the slab thickness from the face of the
support adjacent to the slab critical section.

== 18.14.6 Wall piers

=== 18.14.6.1 Wall piers not designated as part of the seismicforce-
resisting system shall satisfy the requirements of

=== 18.10.8. Where the general building code includes provisions
to account for overstrength of the seismic-forceresisting
system, it shall be permitted to calculate the design
shear force as Ωo times the shear induced under design
displacements, δu.

== R18.14.6 Wall piers

=== R18.14.6.1 Section 18.10.8 requires that the design shear
force be determined according to 18.7.6.1, which in some
cases may result in unrealistically large forces. As an alternative,
the design shear force can be determined as the product
of an overstrength factor and the shear induced when the
wall pier is displaced by δu. The overstrength factor Ωo
included in FEMA P749, ASCE/SEI 7, and the 2018 IBC
can be used for this purpose.
