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.
Column slenderness and length greatly influence a column’s ability to carry load. • Very short, stout columns fail by crushing due to material failure. ... concrete slab at the base and attached to light-gauge roofing at the top. 9.8 Case D: One end is free and one end is fixed.
