When columns and beams are modelised with Piers and Spandrels what's more than when they are modelised by frames elements.
 
Normaly columns and beams are modelised with frames elements. Etabs allow modelisation of these elements with piers and spandrels. is piers and spandrel disigned for shell elements only or not ?

Thanks.
 
Piers and spandrels can be assigned for frame elements also.
 
thank you Murali27
