Details for joint in moment resisting frame
Details for joint in moment resisting frame
(OP)
Dear all
If I have moment resisting frame,subjected to earthquake,I need the actual site details for column beam connection in case if the column is not resisting earthquake , or what should I do in site to make as much as possible this frame not acting in moment resisting frame,
Sketch will be appreciated

RE: Details for joint in moment resisting frame
Is it the following, you have a moment resisting frame, you want a detail for connecting an intermediate column that will not effect your moment frame?
Why would you put in a column but not use it to shorten the dimensions of the moment frame? seems like a waste of a column.

But just out of curuoisty , whu would you want to do that, as jayrod12 said: this seems like a waste of a column.

RE: Details for joint in moment resisting frame
let me make the question more clear
if I want to release shear for the column from resisting lateral load i will release the shear in the top of the column(below the beam in FE model)
So my question ,how to implement this in actual RC connection in the site,but still carrying resisting gravity load
Second,if I release the moment in the beam (make it simply supported), this will not prevent shear in the columns,and again how I will make this detail in the site
The reason for doing the second one is practical use, but the first one is only for my understanding.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
