How Do Column Fail?

hey guys welcome to the QA QC Civil Engineering have you ever wondered that how do column fail if not then read this article to know the column failure and its types 

so let's get started ...

As you know that columns are used to transfer the load vertically to the horizontal beams every material used in the building experience both compression and tension stress that's how we design the modern buildings

Columns consist of two major material one is concrete and second one is steel
engineers do calculate the total stress caused by the live load and dead load of the entire building and will design the internal components of the building such as foundation beam and columns 

so if the applied stress exceeds the allowable stress then the structure starts to fail
that's all about the column failure now let's talk about its types 

Types of Column Failure:

Mostly, Columns fail in two conditions:

1. Compression Failure
2. Buckling Failure

let's discuss them 

1. Compression Failure:

What is Compression Failure?

 

compression failure is the material itself crushing or yielding not the column. shorter and wider column normally fails under compression failure. When the axially loaded stress exceeds allowable stress.

compression failure occurs then concrete starts to fail or bulge. We know the column consists of two major components concrete and steel. compressive strength is normally how much load that the material can withstand before it could completely fail. 

Normally, different materials have different compressive strength

2. Buckling Failure:

What is Buckling Failure?

Buckling failure occurs in long columns (slender Column) where the columns displaced laterally or horizontally. We don't need to analyze the design of the structural members. But we do have the responsibility to identify the type of failures occurred whether it is because of the concrete we used for the design mistake.

that's all for today.
