Assign Columns Release For Free

Secondary Beam: A horizontal beam connecting primary beams (simply supported or shear connected.) Function: It will transfer the load to the primary beam and not directly connected to the columns.

Basically moment release is used in secondary beams in RCC Structure. If we have not released secondary beam ends then it will behave more like a fixed end beam. This moment will be transferred to the main beam as a torsional moment.

Release is removing the capacity of a certain structural member to support forces like bending moment, torsion (more of torsion in the next posts) axial and shear forces. This can be done in almost all structural analysis and design programs such as Staad, SAFE, and ETABS.

Beam releases determine the degrees of freedom that do not participate in or are not tied to a connection at the end of a beam. You can specify beam releases for both straight and curved beams. Beam releases are supported in structural mode only and not in thermal mode.

Partial fixity in Etabs software It will need to multiply 0.33 with 4EI/L and 2EI/L with 3 to get the final spring stiffness value and put it in ETABS as shown in It may not get the moment values reduced by that percentage by which it applied the reduction factor. So this process is iterative.
