Whereas these framesdo not satisfy all of the prescriptive requirements of 21.5through 21.7 of ACI 318-11, analyses, tests, and reportingrequirements in accordance with ACI 374.1 have establisheddependable and predictable strength, energy dissipation,stiffness, and drift capacities for characteristic beam-columnconfigurations of the frames described in this Standard. Suchspecial moment frames are permitted for structures assignedto SDC D, E, or F in accordance with 21.8.4 of ACI 318-11.
