Salam, I need the opinion of my respected senior Structure engineers about the confusion of Beams in Residential buildings. What should we consider whether the support of beams in residential buildings are fixed or pinned. Should we consider it fixed only when development length of reinforcement of beam must be embedded in adjacent column/wall or it is also considered fixed in case of beam sandwich between walls or continuous slab. In Pakistan different engineers assume different type of support some consider it fixed others consider it pinned always and some of them design bottom steel by considering it pinned support and top steel by considering it fixed support. So, is it fixed support or pinned?

Hi everyone. I have seen many structural engineers using Pinned column bases for RCC buildings in ETABS and many others are using FIXED ones (soil being of compressible nature in both cases). I want experts to comment on the right approach and also please explain what are the detailing requirements for both cases as I have seen that people using both approaches use same detailing pattern in which column bars go straightly down to the footing.

As salam alaikum, Dear All, I would like to know is it OK to design the beam as fixed beam. For the continous beams with 3-4 spans can we consider the end support as fixed?
