Plinth beam : Plinth beam design I Is it mandatory to model plinth beam for design? 

#plinthbeam #plinthbeamdesign
Plinth beam is a part of the structural frame. It is a part of the lateral load resisting mechanism.
Therefore it is mandatory to model plinth beams in your analysis model.
The soil under the plinth beam is useful for resisting Gravity loads. But not the same during a seismic action. You need to consider many things before deciding to support the plinth beam on the soil.
The video explain the frame action due to lateral load and demonstrates the moments developed in the plinth beam
