It’s a short column that will only see gravity load. I’m sure the column reinforcement extends all the way down to the top of the footing.
So the rub is that at the bottom of the column, the rebar isn’t developed like the designer thought it was. I think the confinement...
Thanks for the replies.
I don’t think the column will see any uplift because it is in a very low seismic area and also not a high wind area. As for moment and shear, it is one of many columns so all supporting a slab so I think there will be enough redundancy and redistribution of force to...
