Columns dividing

[faisal.aaouatif]

How can i Calculate ( reinforcement by columns reinforcement module ) a column divided into multiple parts at the same stories ?

Is the precision of calculations depending on the number and lenght of these parts on the models. ( sometimes , Parts of columns are too small ( 25 cm ... or less ) ; Has it any effect on the reinforcement ? Please see attachement.

This way of doing is intended only to define suitable stories.

Thank you

The RC Column Design module expects a column to be defined as a single element.
