DIFFERENT TYPES OF COLUMNS USED IN CONSTRUCTION
A vertical member whose effective length is greater than 3 times Its least lateral dimension carrying compressive loads is called as a column. Columns transfer the loads from the beams or slabs to the footings or foundations.
The Column is a vertical member which transmits loads of a structure from beam and slab to the foundation. The effective depth of a column exceeds three times its least lateral dimension. Usually, the column carries axial loads in compression. Columns are very important components of a structure. Failure of the column results in the collapse of the structure. There are different types of columns used in building construction.
Generally, columns carry axial loads and therefore are designed for compression. Other loads like snow load, wind load, or other horizontal forces or thrusts can cause bending in the columns. Columns then need to be designed for axial load and bending.
Columns are typically constructed from materials like stone, brick, block, concrete, steel, etc. which have good compressive strength.
Importance of Column Construction:
- Because columns bear axial loads, they are intended to withstand compression stresses.
- Other loads, such as snow, wind, or other horizontal forces, might induce bending in the structure. Thus provisions are included to prevent the collapse or settlement of structural columns.
- The column is often constructed to equally distribute compressive axial load and other forces such as snow and wind to the foundation, allowing the building to withstand earthquakes and other pressures.
- We will create a tiny structure of random rubble masonry to a particular height. Still, we will not construct a multi-story building out of random rubble masonry since the structure must be capable of transmitting heavyweight to the foundation’s base……………..
