Important Column Reinforcement details | Long Column and Short Column | Nominal Cover | Civil Tutor

In this lecture, I have discussed briefly the important column reinforcement details that every civil engineer must know. I have also discussed, what are long columns and short columns? Watch the complete video to boost your civil engineering basic knowledge.

By the term “Least lateral dimension” we mean the smaller side of the column cross-section. For illustration, if we have a column of size 230mm x 450mm its least lateral dimension would be 230mm. Similarly for a column of size 200mm x 300mm, the least lateral dimension would be 200mm. As per the definition of a column, the minimum effective length of a 230mm x 450mm column should be 3 x 230 i.e. 690mm and for the column of size 200 x 300 mm, the effective length shall be at least 3 x 200 i.e., 600mm. However, if the effective length is less than the least lateral dimension, such a member is called a “Pedestal” If the slenderness ratio of a column is greater than 12, such a column is termed as ‘Long Column’, and if this ratio is less than 12, then it would be called a ‘’Short Column’’.
