end length offsets

[rajesh pullat]

Hi all,
while using end length offsets (automatic from connectivity) in ETABS there is no change in reinforcement in the beam
How to achieve do this correctly?

when you use automatic length offset in beams for example, the software make the length from center of column to the edge rigid so the moment began at the face of column, but if you want to input the correct length offset you need to include the value user defined. if the software still dosent take the length offset, you need to modify mesh slab.

Hi ahmad
Thanks for your reply
Is it fixing till the edge of the column by default...because even when i dont give end length offsets(automatic option) ..still it gives results in the beam at the edge of the column
