I would like to use cantilever column system for a residential building because of flood zone. ASCE 7-10, Table 12.2-1 has "cantilevered column systems detailed to the required for: Special reinforced concrete moment frames". I would like to use this system, but I am a bit confused. Why does it say "Special reinforced concrete moment frames" instead of "Reinforced concrete special cantilever column systems"? When I looked at ACI 318, I couldn't find anything about the cantilever system. Do I just need to design the column based on column requirement for concrete special moment frame?
I have a big enough spread footings to support column gravity load and moment.
