INTRODUCTION:
COLUMN: Column is a vertical member which is subjected to Axial compression load.
TYPES OF COLUMNS:
1. ACCORDING TO MATERIAL:
a) Post: A wooden member which is subjected to axial compressive loads is called a post.
b) Stanchion: A built-up structural steel member which is subjected to axial compressive loads is called a Stanchion.
c) Boom: The main compressive member in a jib crane is known as Boom.
d) Strut: An inclined steel member which is subjected to compressive forces is called as a Strut.
2. ACCORDING TO SLENDERNESS RATIO:
a) Long Column: A column whose slenderness ratio is greater then 120, then it is called a Long Column.
b) Short Column: A column whose slenderness ratio is less than 32, then it is called a Short Column.
c) Intermediate (or) Medium Column: A column whose slenderness ratio is in between 32 & 120, then it is called a Medium Column.
3. ACCORDING TO LOADING CONDITION:
a) Axial Column: If the load acting on the column exactly passes through the longitudinal axis of the column, then the column is known as Axially Loaded Column.
b) Eccentric Column: If the load acting on the column is at some distance from the axis and have eccentricity, then the column is known as Eccentric Column.
THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COLUMNS. THANKYOU FOR EXPLORING OUR BLOG.
