Column and Frame Structure Building

 

The word ‘column’ is related to building construction. The vertical support which is free from all sides taking the load of beam slab etc. and transfers the load to the earth independently is called column.

Column is constructed with the help of steel bars and cement concrete. In case of multi storey and frame structure building constructions, the entire load is born by columns and the floor area/ internal space of building is freely adjusted according to the requirement.

The size, cement concrete ratio and numbers of steel bars with their diameter are available in structural drawings which are designed according to the load born by the column and factor of safety.

The longitudinal reinforcement in columns should be properly staggered.
What should be the cost of construction which includes concrete+manpower+shuttering etc.

Dear sir


It is not necessary to give supervision contract to architect. It is either up to you to supervise your work your self or by any other person. If you still have difficulty in getting structural drawing, you can hire the structural engineers from our web site by sending plan of your proposed house.


Regards


Priti

Specific to column, should the steel bar net be in the middle of the footing or can it also be on the side?
Columns are being added to my house to support first floor and the contractor is not putting the steel bar net in the center of the footing citing lack of space. Will this be a problem in load bearing?
