Do ACI Seismic
Provisions Apply ?
Concrete Gravity Members
The title of this article may seem likea trivial question, but it deals withan issue that in large measure mightbe overlooked. At first glance, one
might think, “Of course not; gravity columnsare designed for gravity, so why would I need toaddress the seismic provisions in Chapter 21 of
ACI 318-11?” e answer is a simple matter ofdeformation compatibility, which ASCE 7-10
addresses for Seismic Design Categories (SDC)D through F in Section 12.12.5. It clearly listsreinforced concrete frame members not part ofthe lateral-force-resisting system as an exception,
with a deferral to ACI 318-11 Section 21.11 – ASCE 7-10 Errata No. 2 corrects this referenceto ACI 318-11 Section 21.13 – which is titled,“Members not designated as part of the seismic-force-resisting system”. We can appreciate that gravity-load-carryingmembers are inextricably linked to the lateral-force-resisting system. Tough not specifically
designed to provide lateral
stiffness, the performanceand behavior of such ele-ments can be significantly
altered in a seismic event. Hence, we must deal with deformation compatibility issues and ductil-ity requirements for reinforced concrete gravitycolumns during a seismic event, in accordance
with ACI 318-11 Section 21.13.How do we know when it is required to incor-
porate the ACI seismic provisions for gravitymembers? In general terms that match the ACIcode language, gravity members are those “not
designated as part of the seismic-force-resistingsystem in structures assigned to SDC D, E, andF” mentioned in section 21.13.1 of ACI 318. Tesame section of ACI indicates that members notexplicitly checked may just be designed using the
ACI 21.13.4 provisions, which may be onerous.It is interesting to note that earlier versions of
ACI 318 Chapter 21 qualified members requir-ing such attention in “regions of high seismicrisk,” which led to some ambiguity and confu-sion, especially for structures seemingly on thatthreshold. Currently, ACI uses the more directSeismic Design Category language.
ACI 318-11 Section 21.13.3 addresses inducedmoments and shears under design displace-ments (δ u), which are taken as the magnified

Are induced moments and shearsunder design displacement (δ u)less than the moment and shear
strength of the member?
