Major Element of Frame Structure
Frame Structure is consist of many parts, that together they make
complete Frame structure.
1- Foundation
2- Column
3- Slab on Grade
4- Beam or girder
5- Slab
6- Stair
7- Shear wall
Frame System
Designed as
straight lines
action from

Forces and
reactions are
considered in

Major Element of Frame Structure (Column)
Definition
Any shape, any size, any element with any finishing or texture.
Live Load: any loads that move around the structure, such as human,
and other temporary load.
Dead Load: All loads that, part of structure and stay as permanent on
structure.
Basically, column’s function is to transfer the slab, beam, live load and
dead load from top level to lower level and finally to foundation in safe
way, with out any backline.
Types of Column:
Short Column, Intermediate and Long Column
Definitions:
For a long (slender) column, buckling occurs way before the normal stress
reaches the strength of the column material. For example, pushing on
the ends of a business card or bookmark can easily reproduce the
buckling.
Design Considerations
In practice, for a given material, the allowable stress in a compression
member depends on the slenderness ratio Leff / r and can be divided
into three regions: short, intermediate, and long.
r
In the table, L eff is the effective length of the column, and is the radius of
gyration of the cross-sectional area, defined as .
Radii of gyration for standard beams, common beams, and other common
areas can be found in the geometry section.
