column releases above transfer beam

ron12 · 2012-07-03T21:39:47+00:00

dear all, If we have a concrete column being transfered at some level, is it a good assumption to pin the bottom of the column so it carries just axial load and no moment ? i am having this case in a current project, the column is asking for too much reinforcement due to the moments that are occuring (i am having 4% under gravity load combinations). I was thinking of affecting releases for this column and designing the slab that is being supported by thic column using a pinned connection. Is it a good assumtion ? Thanks and regards

Yes, a very good assumption 😀

Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

Lol, if you say so ! 😀
What about the beam deflection carrying this column, i generally check the transfer members for L/500 in order not to settle since any excessive settlement of the planted column will affect the upper floors and will cause some moment reversal.

L/500 should be OK 😀
