Abstract

ln this paper, a technique is developed for analyzing the socket  connection. The aim i s to determine the depth of fixation of a steel column  which is embedded in a reinforced concrete column at any floor of the  buildings. Also. the stress distribution in the longitudinal and transverse  directions along the embedded length of the steel column is studied in the  domain of X. Y and Z axes.  
The effect at the reinforced concrete slab and beams on tile stress  distribution of tile fixed depth of the steel column in two or three side  directions are taken into consideration. Also. tile different distributions  of pressure along the embedded length of the steel column are investigated  [or the different cases of loadin8.  
A static analysis of the socket connection is presented using the three  dimensional brick element with 48 degrees of freedom in the domain of X. Y  and Z axes (i. 8. 6 degree of freedom at each node), The conclusion of this  study is drawn out and some guide inducements are developed for design  purposes.
