Min. reinf. req'mts for masonry and seismic
(OP)
ACI 530 has requirements for minimum reinforcing in masonry when the seismic performance category is C or higher. But does this minimum reinforcing still apply when the seismic force is not part of the controlling load combination?

prevent having RM columns eccept every 3.0 m. what is the solution for something like this? can you use an equivelant area of steel? something like you need from design 200 mm2/m so you take 600mm2 every 3m.
Best regards
