Considering the figure, with beam no. 162 the secondary beam and beams no. 160 and 161 the cantilever beams. Do we release Mz for beam no. 162?
Yes you can do Partial moment release MPZ and MPY (0.95 to 0.97) of beam no 162
I did a full release. Is that okay?
No it's not suggested to do full release it may lead to instability,also in reality there is a certain amount of moment which is transmitted by a secondary beam to a primary beam,so its not recommended to do 100% release.

Ok I get it now. What would be a safe value to take? 0.95?
