Re: Column Shear Force Reduction Problem Hello, If we write a general answer to your question, it can be yes. Columns may have different design shear forces at different floors. In columns with high ductility level, the shear force based on the design shear safety control, besides the calculation shear force value of the column, in accordance with the earthquake code, the clear height of the column (floor heights, beam heights), beam and column bearing force moments and Velimit values (design shear force). may decrease its value). You can see these values in the column report. Example column shear safety report: In columns with limited ductility level, the column design shear force depends on the Velimit values (which can reduce the design shear force value, whichever is smaller) other than the column calculation shear force value. For details, see TBDY 7.3.7 for columns with high ductility and Article 7.7.5.2 for limited columns.
