402:
Actual dimension The measured dimension of a designated item (e.g., a designated masonry unit or
wall).
Cleanout An opening to the bottom of a grout space of sufficient size and spacing to allow removal of
debris.
Cover Distance between surface of reinforcing bar and face of member.
Effective period Fundamental period of the structure based on cracked stiffness.
Hollow masonry unit A masonry unit whose net cross-sectional area in any plane parallel to the
bearing surface is less than 75 percent of the gross cross-sectional area in the same plane.
Plastic hinge The zone in a structural member in which the yield moment is anticipated to be
exceeded under loading combinations that include earthquake. The zone in a masonry element in which
earthquake energy is dissipated through the development of inelastic strains and curvatures.
Reinforced masonry Masonry construction in which reinforcement acts in conjunction with the
masonry to resist forces. Masonry in which the tensile resistance of masonry is neglected and the
resistance of the reinforcing steel is considered in resisting applied loads.
Solid masonry unit A masonry unit whose net cross-sectional area in any plane parallel to the bearing
surface is 75 percent or more of the gross cross-sectional area in the same plane.
Special moment frame A moment resisting frame of masonry beams and masonry columns within a
plane with special reinforcement details and connections that provides resistance to lateral and gravity
loads.
Specified Required by construction documents.
Stirrup Shear reinforcement in a beam or flexural member.
11.2.2.2 Additional notation. Add the following notation to Sec. 1.5 of ACI 530/ASCE 5/TMS 402:
