WillisV- How do you know it's going away? It's in the 2015 NEHRP and I couldn't find mention of it going away in ASCE 7-16. Also "very soon" is relative. Even if it gets in the 2016 ASCE 7, that'll be adopted in 2018 IBC which will be adopted by jurisdictions in 2019 if you're lucky. KootK-...

My little steel cheat sheet has: Room Bm: d = 0.5*span Floor Bm: d = 0.6*span Composite Bm: d = 0.55*span Everyone has different thumbs.

ASCE reads: NEHRP explains: Question: For the 25% reduction, are the requirements that the structure be analyzed per ELF and that it not be an inverted pendulum or cantilevered column type structure sufficient to meet the intent of the NEHRP commentary? Specifically, consider a single story...
