In preceding post,, idea regarding HORIZONTAL SPANNING BEAM TO TAKE ALL HORIZONTAL FORCES FROM COLUMN TIPS,, BUT THIS IS FEASIBLE ONLY IF, LONGITUDINAL HALL LENGTH IS LIMITED,,

MOST PROBABLY YOU W ...

Do not know the Hall dimensions
Span as revealed by you is 22.5 m
How much Hall size in other dir.

If longitudinal direction dim of Hall is say = L
There is need to design A heavy longit ...

IF YOUR ROLE IS ONLY LIMITED TO COLUMN DESIGN,, ( AND NOT ARCH DESIGN) ,,
THEN IS OBLIGATORY ON PART TO DESIGN COLUMNS FOR FULL MOMENTS BASED ON ACTUAL MODEL WITH COLUMN TAKING FULL HORIZONTAL FORCE ...

Just to say :-
Taking Hinge joint , at top of column,, will not relieve column of Horizontal force.

Also my view point is that go for two models and use Model 1 ( Natural) taking Redistribution ...

As said in earlier post,, Model 1 without any release will be Actual Model - Adopt about 70 %

Model 2 will be one with Release at joint of Fx,, Mz, My to achieve Maximum moment at midspan of ...

Further :- If it is possible and Aesthetic s permit
PLEASE TIE THE ARCH AT CERTAIN LEVEL ( HIGHER THAN SPRINGING LEVEL) , THIS WILL REDUCE HORIZONTAL FORCE AT SPRINGING AS PART FORCE IS BALANCED T ...

Structure will, first behave as per it's Natural behaviour,, If it finds yielding at some place - It will redistribute the forces to survive,, and therefore - if section fails, Needed strength at othe ...

FIRE IS A GOOD SERVANT,, BUT BAD MASTER ,,

So long as fire is in our Control, it works for us like cooking,, boiling and so on. But if it takes control over us,, it destroys and kills.

Causes ...

Generally
if Pile depth is more - there is increase in Load carrying capacity due to added skin friction plus better point bearing base pressure from deeper strata :-

Reasons of decreased capaci ...

Yes in Single Model :-

One can get results of design reinforcement for a specific load case .

Hence I feel we can tackle Results ( output) file in two different files on Single model
