Difference between short, intermediate and long column
We can visualize the all three columns on three basis -
- Their length
- Slenderness ratio
- Mode of failure.
Short column :-
- Length ≤ 8 times of its least lateral dimension.
- Slenderness ratio = 0 - 32
- Failed due to crushing.
Intermediate column :-
- Length = 8 - 30 times of its least lateral dimension.
- Slenderness ratio = 32–120.
- Failed due to crushing and buckling combinedly.
Long column :-
- Length > 30 times of its least lateral dimension.
- Slenderness ratio > 120
- Failed due to buckling.
Thank you. It's helpful
