Long column & short column

What is column? Column is basically defined as a vertical member of a structure and it will be subjected with vertical compressive load. Line of action of compressive load will pass through the axis of the column or sometime also parallel to the axis of the column. Types of Columns? On the basis of length and lateral dimensions of columns, columns are basically divided in two groups. 1.Long columns 2.Short columns Long column Long column is basically defined as the column in which the ratio of effective length of the column to the least lateral dimension of the column is more than 12. Short column Short column is basically defined as the column in which the ratio of effective length of the column to the least lateral dimension of the column is less than 12
