Column:
A column is a vertical compression member. A column is subjected to axial compressive loads.
Short Column:
When the ratio of effective length to the least lateral dimensions of the column is less than 12, then it is called a short column.
(or)
When the ratio of effective length to the least radius of gyration is less than 45, then it is called a short column.
Long Column:
When the ratio of effective length to the least radius of gyration is greater than 45, then it is called a long column.
A long column is subjected to bending moment in addition to direct compressive stress.
The load carrying capacity of a long column is less than a short column.
The load carrying capacity of a long column depends upon slenderness ratio (slenderness ratio increases then the capacity of the column decreases).
Awesome
These information are usually required for the freshers ….good job…
nice work
It has clear explanation
