Types, Reasons & Prevention of Column Failures
We know generally Columns are axially loaded members in structure. It carries compression force due to gravity loads of the structure. Column fails for different reasons. There are mainly three types of failures occur in columns. These are- 1.Compressive Failure 2.Buckling Failure 3.Shear Failure Now let’s discuss about the failure types in details & reason…

Inclined or Raked Column Design
The main secondary effect of having inclined columns is that they introduce a horizontal component of the axial load into the beams/floor slabs at each level, so you need to design for these forces.Also, you need to be careful about additional moments caused within each floor height of column due to eccentricity of vertical loading.Depending…
