ACI 314 Design Aid reference to Effective Moment of Inertia Flowchart
ACI 314 Design Aid reference to Effective Moment of Inertia Flowchart
(OP)
I was reviewing a collection of reinforced concrete design aids published by ACI 314, specifically Design Aid J.1-15 "Approximate Eq. to Determine Immediate Deflection for Members Subject to Uniformly Distributed Loads." It references "Flowchart A.1-5.1" associated with the definition of Effective Moment of Inertia. I'm not sure where to find the flowchart referenced (ACI 314R-11 or another document?). It is not in the 28 or 29 page collection of Design Aids I have also found here ACI 314 Design Aid.
I'm curious if the flow chart is just a reformulation of ACI 318 9.5.2.3 and 9.5.2.4 or provides some additional insight or references another method of approximation than the Branson based equation. I may be chasing a rabbit back to 9.5.2, but when I see the word "Flowchart" I sure want to know where it goes!
