The main aim of this study is to specify the behavior of the beams related to the carried implanted column corresponding to the column direction and its location in both bending and shear cases and to give some recommendations and specifications which can be taken into consideration while the design of beams has an implanted column. The experimental study was achieved by testing five full-scale beams with respect to the failure load, deflection and strain in steel reinforcement. Results showed that the best position for the implanted column in the bending case is when the length of the implanted column is perpendicular to beam span. Furthermore, the design of the beam is sufficient and conservative in presence of implanted column near the support to satisfy the shear formed by the applied load.
