Column and Shear wall
Column and Shear wall
(OP)
I want to know if we model the wall between the columns, attached to them, should we delete the columns or not (I mean in reality are the columns exist in the system?) Some believe they can be exist and design them as a column but I cant accept this idea because I think the Connection between wall and column make them as a unique wall element. (in Seismic Design Handbook by F. Naeim no column has been modeled.)I am mixed up and need help. thanks alot.

The only way to avoid plastic hinging under certain loads is 1. Not to have those loads or 2. Design the system of elements so robust that there is no money left over for the fancy architechual adornments!

RE: Column and Shear wall
you should design the column and the wall separately. your wall will be design as shear wall making your column a supported one.

What will happen if we delete the Column? and what will we get if model the column and design it ? I think in this situation column act as a part of wall.
