My apologies for not mentioning the code...i work with the eurocodes.
I don't know what code you are referring to, but i don't seem to recall that the eurocode requires the reduction of I. I would appreciate it if someone would show me the section of the EC where it says to do so.
As far as the stress in the reinforcement is concerned, i design the amount of reinforcement by assuming full stress in the same.
Regards
