COLUMN
! Definition
! American Concrete Institute (ACI 318) defines
columns as "member with a ratio of height-to-least
lateral dimension exceeding 3 used primarily to
support axial compression load.
Column = Height
!
smallest thickness
>"3
Therefore a column:
! is a vertical members (in compression) of a
framework
! that transfers loading (live & dead load) of upper
floors & beams to the substructure

Bending
May occur to a column due to one or more of
the following conditions :
1. Eccentric loading
2. Slenderness ratio is more than 45
3. Reaction of beam upon the column (due to
bending of the beam).
4. The reaction of the frame (column & beam) to
wind loading.

Eccentric loading
! Application of eccentrically loading
on column – induce bending.
! Compression on the side next to the
load & tension on the opposite site.
! Eccentricity of load is often much
greater in column than in case of
walls – because beams are
commonly fixed to the side of
column.
