column eccentricity
column eccentricity
(OP)
In a wide-flange beam framed into TS column where the column is cut or slot for the shear plate connection, is it right that the beam reaction will be assumed to extend into the column centerline and the effect of connection eccentricity can be neglected supposing the connection is designed for combined shear and moments? thanks...

On interior colums, I check my columns two ways, the first with full LL on both sides, second is with full LL on one side and only DL on the other. (I generally just proportion the LL out....I don't run a full second set of calculations....I'm not that anal about it.) You would be surprised the number of times the "unbalanced" load condition increases the column size.
On the exterior or perimeter columns, I use the full LL in both directions, with the appropriate eccentricity.

Idon't know off any conection that does not casue some sort of eccentric load, unless you are bearing directly over the top of a column.
