Cracked Concrete Sections
Cracked Concrete Sections
(OP)
Does anyone know if ETABS Plus (v.8.3.5) takes into consideration the reduced moment of inertia in the frame due to the presence of cracked regions along the lengths of the members? This is a requirement of ACI 318-99 section 10.11.1.
Thanks,

Better that you can modify the stiffness modifiers for columns & other structural elements as per ACI 10.11.1
(both ultimate load case & service load case)
Hope this helps to you,
