Hi everyone. I have seen many structural engineers using Pinned column bases for RCC buildings in ETABS and many others are using FIXED ones (soil being of compressible nature in both cases). I want experts to comment on the right approach and also please explain what are the detailing requirements for both cases as I have seen that people using both approaches use same detailing pattern in which column bars go straightly down to the footing.

Respected seniors, It is my 1st post. I have got help from this forum many times but posting 1st time.. i am a junior structural engineer.. i am to model a steel column resting at 8 ft concrete pedestal of isolated foundation... The base of steel column is attached resting at pedestal with the help of a hinged type base plate... but i am confused what type of constraint i shud provide at the connection of steel column base at pedestal.... i even dont know exactly what a constraint is... i am to design foundations of column. so kindly let me know how to model it properly and accurately...

Assalam o alaikum all, How to decide what type of support should i provide at base of my building in ETABS?? If I provide pin support then sway of my building is 1.5 in and if i provide fix support then sway reduces to 0.9 in. Some one in this forum replied to a thread (I am unable to find the same thread) that if soil is stiff then we can provide fix support other wise pin support for loose soil. But I think it is upto our will then whether we provide fixed or hinged, sizes of our footings will become accordingly. In my case, building is in Quetta with BC 0.75 tsf. Suggest me please.
