Improved Ponding Criteria for Cantilever Framing Systems
Current AISC ponding provisions are derived from simply-supported primary framing systems. When applied to framing systems where the primary framing is cantilevered over the supports (cantilever framing), the existing equations are overly conservative and take away much of the potential economy presented by cantilever framing. This paper provides a proposed modification to the current provisions, by deriving a modification to the flexibility constant, Cp, of the primary framing. This proposed modification is equally applicable to Load and Resistance Factor Design and Allowable Stress Design methods.
