- The information presented in this table is to be used in conjunction with the design criteria of ACI 318 Appendix D, except as modified below.
- The value of
applies when the load combinations of ACI 318 Section 9.2 are used. If the load combinations of ACI 318 Appendix C are used, refer to Section D.4.5 to determine the appropriate value of . The 3/4 inch diameter is considered as a brittle steel element. The 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, and 1 inch diameters are considered as ductile steel elements. - The value of applies when both the load combinations of ACI 318 Section 9.2 are used and the requirements of Section D.4.4(c) for Condition B are met . If the load combinations of ACI 318 Section 9.2 are used and the requirements of Section D.4.4(c) for Condition A are met, refer to Section D.4.4 to determine the appropriate value of . If the load combinations of ACI 318 Appendix C are used, refer to Section D.4.5 to determine the appropriate value of .
