Posted on What is a Beam Column? A beam column is a structural member that is subjected to both bending moments and axial forces. Beam columns are common in framed structures and are designed to resist both lateral and gravity loads. In a building frame, beam columns act as intersecting beams and columns. They transfer forces between…

A column base acts as a critical transitional element in structural systems, which connects vertical columns to underlying floor slabs and footings. These important base parts help distribute the heavy weight from the columns over a larger area so that the forces can be passed down into the foundations below. Both concrete and structural steel…
