Meaning that I will manually check the columns for the full gravity loads as if no bleeding occurred.ģ) Sometimes I will create a test load case that applies only one large load atop one particular column and just trace that load down through the structure. However, my tendency is to (for gravity loading) to do a manual correction for the design forces in the columns.
If the structure were built all at once and the loads were applied all at once. Some general thoughts:ġ) There is sometimes a difference between what the analysis will show and what force I want to use for design.Ģ) If the column loads are 'bleeding' off into nearby walls, that may be a real effect base on stiffness. Probably not enough info for me to figure it out.
