Column splice location
Column splice location
(OP)
W14 column for a 3 story structure. Total height = 54'.
What is the ideal location for a splice? I was think about 2' about the 2nd story.

Apply the wind load and you will get this point around at the storey mid height.
You can break the node in the model and set it as hinge, but you have to design it as full moment splice or at least 50% of column section moment capacity for the splice.
