Hi
Please find the attached files:
Can I use the column as a boundary element for the wall? Or each designed separately? The column is supporting a slab and the wall is supporting the 1.2m slab at a higher level. The column and wall are highlighted in yellow.

Hi all.
Any opinion would be appreciated.
 
I am not an expert but I will design both of them separately if I were you..
 

No.... the wall could be designed as deep cantilever beam. If a wall at a higher storey is not planted to the foundation, it has almost no effect to LFRS.

I will prefer the column rebar continuous and the wall provided with minimum beam and web reinforcement .
 
Thanks all.

The 1.2m slab is a one-way slab. The load is transferred to the 18m long beam (not the 1.2m long beam).

The wall is planted to the foundation.
 
Hi
I tried with 400x600mm for the 18m long beam and the results were ok. So the 1.2m slab didn't need RC wall to support it. What do you think?
I may try 300x500mm also.
