FREE CIVIL VIDEO OF THE MONTH - Civil Structural PM Exam - Alternate to Frame Analysis

ACI 318-11 provides us with a quick method for determining forces and moments along a concrete frame, packing a bunch of equations into just a quarter page of text. The phrases and classifications can be confusing to keep track of, but Dr. Tom's Classroom has you covered in this video.

This video lays out an easy to follow flow chart for working through ACI 318-11's Alternate to Frame Analysis. We'll cover positive and negative moments as well as shear, discuss how the clear span length value changes depending on the value being calculated, and walk through the terminology in the section. This includes: end span, internal span, first internal span, spandrel, column, discontinuous end, unrestrained, integral, support, and face.  - Shannon Warchol, PE - DTC Civil Structural Insructor
