Engineering Asked by user22341 on March 11, 2021
Say we have a plan of a building as follows and it is required to be designed using DDM (Direct Design Method). since the moment needs to distributed laterally into a column and middle strips and according to ACI 8.4.1.5 “A column strip is a design strip with a width on each side of a column centerline equal to the lesser of 0.25ℓ2 and 0.25ℓ1.” but in this case, both L1 and L2 have different spans and i dont know what to choose.
The adjacent span ratio disqualify this project for DDM.
The limit is 0.66 or 1.3 ratio. Here we have 7.5/5= 1.5.
