Allowable Reinforcing Steel Stress Increases
Allowable Reinforcing Steel Stress Increases
(OP)
In designing a concrete grade beam resisting live and dead loads as well as wind/seismic OTM...can I take any stress increases for the reinforcing steel? Codes are ACI 318, 2006 IBC. Thank you.

Either way, you can only use the 1/3 increase if the following two conditions exist:
1. You use the alternate load combinations out of IBC for ASD.
2. The material specification specifically permits its use.
