- Axially loaded short RCC column refers to a column that is subjected to load along its central axis (axial load). In such cases, the load is distributed evenly over the entire cross-section of the column.
- This even distribution of load results in uniform compressive strain across the cross-section, meaning all parts of the column experience the same amount of compressive strain.
- The uniform strain ensures that there is no bending or lateral deformation, which is typical in columns that are axially loaded and designed to handle compressive loads without eccentricity or bending moments.
Additional Information
- Assumptions made while designing a compression member (or column):
- The ideal column is assumed to be absolutely straight having no crookedness, which never occurs in practice.
- The modulus of elasticity is assumed to be constant in a built-up column.
