5. Column Definition:
â A column is a vertical structural member
transmitting axial compression loads with or
without moments.
â Column support mainly vertical loads from the
floors and roof, and transmit these loads to the
foundation.
â Axially loaded columns,
â Columns under uni-axial bending,
â Columns under biaxial bending.
