What I don't understand is why excessive additional longitudinal reinforcement is required in the columns where the tension floor is located. turns out; The first thing that comes to my mind is that the floor height is different from the other floors and the mezzanine floor is the critical floor, but there is no critical floor on the ground floor above, and there is no shot in the longitudinal reinforcements of the columns on the ground floor, and there is no change when the floor height is the same as the other floors. Is there a logical explanation for this?
Hello, In your project, you see more reinforcement on an upper floor (mezzanine floor) due to the contribution of the curtains in the basement, which are not on the upper floors, to the system. Because basement curtains share the effect of columns on a lower floor. It completely reduces the effects of the columns inside the curtains at the bottom. If there were no basement perimeter curtains, you could observe that the reinforcements calculated on the mezzanine floor would continue to increase in the basement. This is the reason why the mezzanine floor is critical because of the basement perimeter walls on a lower floor, and more reinforcement in the columns above the basement perimeter walls. In addition, the height of the mezzanine floor is higher than the other floors, which is a factor in excess reinforcement on the mezzanine floor.
