Column Reinforcement From Summary In Etabs
AOA Respected Seniors !
At station location 0.00 In column reinforcement summary the longitudinal steel is very high as compare to other location in the same column. My friend told me to ignore the 0 location reinforcement and provide the rebar in the column according to other station locations.
here is a snapshot of the column summary, so should i ignore the location 0 reinforcement ????
THANKS in advance.
Without checking your model I would suggest that you check on which combination you are getting 4.5% reinforcement.
Then check the moment diagram on that combination and make sure its okay!
You can always make a simple 2d model of a frame to compare the results.
It the column is at upper story, you will get more moment than axial force so e is more and so is the reinforcement.
