    Columns Moments Transferring

    Hi All, I’m trying to understand how moments in an insitu RC column transfers to the column below. For example, on L5, the column above is loading the column below eccentrically (200mm). The load from the column above is N* = 5000kN, so the column below takes a moment of 5000kN * 0.2m =...

    Hydrostatic Uplift Vs Column Gravity Loads

    Hi XR250, Yes the hydrostatic pressure for one specific column is larger than the dead load (self weight ) carried by the column. All other columns carry enough load. Please note that the column without enough dead loads becomes an edge column, so it has a larger tributary area on the basement...

    Hydrostatic Uplift Vs Column Gravity Loads

    Hi All, My current problem is that my column gravity loads (only self weight of the structure multiplied by a factor of 0.9) is less than the hydrostatic uplift (multiplied by a factor of 1.2). This is only problematic for one column. When designing my hydrostatic slab (reinforced concrete)...
