How to find column size (L x B xD ) ? What is mean by stiffness ? How to find structure load?
How to find column size ( length x breadth x Width or depth ) | What is mean by stiffness ? | How to find load acting on the structure ? What the loads are called dead load ? What are the loads are called as Live load? What are the loads are lateral loads? In basically to finding the column size is little difficult. But not much, to find column size we need to follow three steps Step : 1 - Assumption Step : 2 - Stiffness checking Step : 3 - Load acting on the structure. Assumption:- If you are going to construct residential or commercial building, all we have to do planning ( 2D drawing), with the help of the plan we can mark the column positioning. With the help of column position we can assume the Length x breads x depth. In column length mean Height of the column, usually we are using min 3m (10') maximum depends up on the usage. Breadth and Depth normally we can assume 200mm minimum depth as per IS code 456. We can take this are...
