2. INTRODUCTION
⢠Bars are categorized as columns and beams.
⢠Column is geometrically looks like beam but loading is different when
compared.
⢠Beam takes up load perpendicularly where as column takes axial.
⢠Again columns divided into SHORT and LONG columns.
⢠Both the types differentiated by ratio of length(a) to lateral
dimensions(b).
⢠Long columns have more (a/b) ratio comparted to short columns.
⢠Short columns, generally withstand higher compressive loads.
⢠Long columns are used in axial load applications.

5. Forces and Supports
Supports are translated into forces and moments in a free body diagrams.
The following are three common supports and the forces and moments used to
replace them.

6. Centric loading:
The load is applied at the centroid of the cross section. The limiting
allowable stress is determined from strength (P/A) or buckling.
Eccentric loading:
The load is offset from the centroid of the cross section because of how the
beam load comes into the column. This offset introduces bending along
with axial stress.
