Abstract: The structural design of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column systems with unequal spans poses unique challenges, especially when one span is significantly longer than the other. This paper explores the practical implications of designing a two-span RC beam-column structure where one span is at least three times longer than the other. The study highlights the key considerations in terms of load distribution, deflection control, reinforcement detailing, and the potential for differential settlement and vibrations. This research draws on Eurocode standards for design, provides an analysis of various load cases, and discusses practical solutions for ensuring structural integrity and serviceability.
