Concept on positioning of Columns

AIM:- To undersstand the Concept on positioning of Columns

INTRODUCTION:-

There are some of the basic principles in determining the positions of columns. Some of them are:

• Columns should be preferred to be positioned at the corners of the building and at the intersection of beams.
• They should be placed in such a way that the bending moments will be reduced in the beams.
• Avoid larger spans of beams.
• Avoid larger centre to centre distance between columns.
• Columns on property line.

In this project we also try to understand the positioning of the structural elements to avoid siesmic calamities i.e earthquake destruction of the structure
