Introduction
Column Definition:
❖ A column is a vertical structural member
transmitting axial compression loads with or
without moments.
❖ Column support mainly vertical loads from the
floors and roof, and transmit these loads to the
foundation.
✓ Axially loaded columns,
✓ Columns under uni-axial bending,
✓ Columns under biaxial bending.
 Introduction
❖ Under gravity
loading:
➢ Interior columns
Axially loaded
➢ Edge columns
Uniaxial loading
➢ Corner columns
Biaxial loading
 Introduction
❖ Depending on level of loading or construction requirements;
concrete columns may have different x-sectional detailing.
➢ Reinforced Concrete Column

Concrete + Rebars
➢ Composite Column
Concrete + Structural steel
➢ In-filled Column
Steel case + Plain/slightly reinforced
concrete
 Introduction
❖ Depending on the structural or architectural requirements;
columns may have different x-sectional shape.
➢ Rectangular,
➢ Square,
➢ Circular,
➢ L-shaped
➢ T-shaped, etc..
 Introduction
❖ Depending on the shape of columns and workmanship;
longitudinal rebars of columns may be held in position by
either ties or spirals.
