Short Column and Long Column

What is a Column, Short Column, Long Column


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).

  1. How Do Drum Brakes Work: Drum brakes have brake drums that rotate with the wheels. Drum brakes have brake drums that rotate with the wheels. Brake shoes fitted with brake linings (friction material) which press against the drums from the inside to generate braking force (decelerate and stop) are set inside of the drums.

  3. 1000 Gallon Septic Tank: Most governmental recommendations for the smallest septic tank capacity in home use is based on the number of bedrooms in the house. The recommendation for home use is a 1000 gallon septic tank as a starting point. The 1000 gallon size tank is a minimum and can be suitable for a 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom house.
