Chapter 9: Column Analysis and Design Introduction columns are usually considered as vertical structural elements, but they can be positioned in any orientation ( diagonal and horizontal compression elements in a truss). columns are used as major elements in trusses, building frames, and sub-structure supports for bridges ( piers). columns support compressive loads from roofs, floors, or bridge decks. columns transmit the vertical forces to the foundations and into the subsoil. The work of a Column is simpler than the work of a beam . The loads applied to a Column are only axial loads.
9.2 • Failure of a joist or beam may be localized and may not severely affect the building’s integrity (e.g. there is redundancy with girders and beams, but not
