How to Model Picked Up column in Etabs
(OP)
I have a framing system of 8 story building. In which two columns are starting from 2nd floor. i have defined the column from beam and i assume that the all 6 story load reaction will be transfered to 2nd story beam with a heavy concentrated load. But i m not getting the reaction. ?

It is interesting that you mention a vierendeel action. I am curious to know from the OP if it is a transfer beam with flat slab all around it or a framed system with beams and columns.
Only when you mentioned vierendeel, did the flashbulb go off. I had never thought of beam-column frames acting as a vierendeel.
