Column has 2 sides as strong axis and weak axis.

On strong axis there are used as main line

in gable system and weak axis is used as lateral frame and join each other. Column capacity
influenced as those two reason, we prepared the column has strong in both side and that’s
why we do the beam as supported weak axis. And also prevent it for any buckling failure.

Column failure involves the phenomenon of buckling, during which a member experiences
deflections of a totally different character than those associated with the initial loading. Thus,
when an axially loaded column is first loaded, it simply shortness or compresses in the
direction of the load. If and when a buckling load is reached, the shortening deformation
stops, and a sudden lateral and/or twisting deformation occurs in a direction normal to the
column axis, thus limiting the axial load capacity.

Existing column installed in KIMA - Column H steel 400x400x12x21

Base on the reason above, we recommend not to replace or remove the beam across in the
building, moving the beam up/down will weaken the columns capacity.

In the other hand 6 (six) meter high is adequate for truck or forklift travel below (5.5 m is low
level requirement for portals, bridges)
