Note:1 Joint Type: I – Column Continuous or Column extension is provided that satisfies ACI 15.2.6
As per ACI 15.2.6 – A column extension assumed to provide continuity through a beam-column joint in the direction of joint shear considered shall satisfy (a) and (b):
- The column extends above the joint at least one column depth, h, measured in the direction of joint shear considered.
- Longitudinal and transverse reinforcement from the column below the joint is continued through the extension.
If either of a) and b) does not satisfy then the Joint Type will be-II
Note:3 C- Transverse Beam Provide Confinement in accordance with ACI 15.2.8.
As per ACI 15.2.8 beam-column joint shall be considered to be confined for the direction of joint shear considered if two transverse beams satisfying (a), (b) and (c) are provided:
- Width of each transverse beam is at least three-quarters of the width of the column face into which the beam frames
- Transverse beams extend at least one beam depth h beyond the joint faces
- Transverse beams contain at least two continuous top and bottom bars satisfying 9.6.1.2 and No. 3 or larger stirrups satisfying 9.6.3.4 and 9.7.6.2.2 sec. of ACI 318-08

Note:4 NC- Transverse Beam is not provided or transverse beam does not provide confinement in accordance with ACI 15.2.8
