Load Transfer Between Column and Shear Wall

Hello  

For columns connected to a concrete shear wall, the normal force coming from the columns above is partially transferred to the wall, causing a decrease in the normal force in the column. What can I do to ensure that the entire normal load is carried by the column? Also, what is the most realistic configuration to consider: allowing load transfer to the wall or not?

Hi @ssihamita082 

Why complicate your life, since the best configuration (and the real world) is to allow load transfer to the wall
