  • Q1. Which column takes more load short or Long Column
  • Ans. 

    Long columns generally take more load due to their greater height and material distribution, affecting structural integrity.

    • Long columns are more susceptible to buckling under axial loads compared to short columns.

    • Short columns can carry higher loads due to their stiffness and reduced slenderness ratio.

    • For example, a 10-foot tall column may buckle under a lower load than a 3-foot tall column.
