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.
