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
One fo ...

I think Single Model with different load combinations can be used if design of reinforcement is worked out Manually based on specific Load combination for Gravity Columns,,

But, now a days,, Analy ...

DETAILING OF GRAVITY COLUMNS SHALL BE DONE AS MONOLITHIC AS ALREADY SAID.

BUT IN ADDITION, DUCTILE PROVISIONS MUST BE INCORPORATED AS PER NORMAL FULL COLUMNS.

The idea is that during severe E ...

Gravity Columns :

As name indicate, these columns carry only Gravity Loading (Vertical floor loads) but are treated as REDUNDANT for sharing Horizontal forces due to EQ.

However as per spirit ...

With passage of time,, but in contact with moisture / seepage,, The reinforcement bars get corroded ans exert pressure on concrete cover chipping it off underside of affected slabs.
