Beam-Columns
Q1) Define in brief Beams.
A1) The beam is a structural detail that stands in opposition to the bending. Mainly beam incorporates vertical gravitational forces, however additionally pull the horizontal hundreds on it.
The beam is referred to as a wall plate or sill plate that incorporates the transmits and cargo it to the girders, columns, or walls. It is connected with.
In the early centuries, timbers have been the maximum desired fabric for use as a beam for this structural help purpose, now to undergo the pressure together with carrying vertical gravitational pressure, now they're made from aluminum, steel, or different such materials.
Q2) What are the types of beam?
A2)
Q3) What is meant by columns?
A3) The compression member who's willing or horizontal and is subjected to axial hundreds is referred to as Strut. Struts are utilized in trusses.
The characteristic of columns is to switch the weight of the shape vertically downwards to switch it to a foundation.
Apart from the wall plays the subsequent features additionally:
· It encloses constructing regions into one-of-a-kind booths and affords privacy.
· It affords protection from housebreaking and insects.
Q4) What are the types of column?
A4)
Q5) Give difference between beams and columns.
A5)
Sr.No. | Beam | Column |
1 | Communally a horizontal member of a structure that resists transverse load is called a beam. | Communally a vertical member of a structure that resists axial/eccentric load is called a column. |
2 | The beam is carried load perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. | The column is carried load parallel to the longitudinal axis. |
3 | Beam is basically carried or resists bending and shear force. | Column is basically carried or resists compression load. |
4 | Beams shape can be square, rectangular, T shape, I shape, H shape. | Column shape can be rectangular, circular, square, T shape, L shape, C shape, elliptical etc |
5 | Minimum width of the beam is 200 mm. | Minimum width of a column is 200 mm, however, for earthquake resistance, it should be 300mm. |
6 | Longitudinal steel in Beam is on two faces which are used to resist bending moment while the vertical loads are resisted by stirrups or inclined beam | Longitudinal steel in Column is on all faces which basically resists compression |
7 | Communally cast with slab and hence greater care is observed for its concreting and curing in case of RCC structures. | Communally cast in small batches and hence the quality of concreting as well as curing ignored in case of RCC structures. |
8 | Beam without building possible | Here, Column important part of building |

Q9) What is moment amplification?
A9) In structural engineering the amplification factor is the ratio of 2nd order to first order deflections.
The amplification factor, additionally called gain, is the volume to which an analog amplifier boosts the power of a signal.
In the layout of slim metal beam-columns, the moment amplification factor is used to estimate the most bending moment. In the parametric study, significance of the preliminary deflection, the axial load ratio, the slenderness ratio and the end moment ratio are decided on because the parameters.
Q10) Define flexural torsional Buckling.
A10) This form of buckling simplest happens in compression participants which have unsymmetrical go-segment with one axis of symmetry. Flexural-torsional buckling is the simultaneous bending and twisting of a member. This in the main happens in channels, structural tees, double-perspective shapes, and same-leg unmarried angles.
Q11) What is role of CG in buckling?
A11)
Q12) What is biaxial Bending?
A12)
Q13) Write a short note on bi axial bending In columns.
A13) Columns are usually subjected to two bending moments about two perpendicular axes (X and Y) as well as an axial force in the vertical Z direction (see Figure 1).
With the shown sign convention, bending about X-axis causes compression in the top part and tension in the bottom region, whereas bending about Y-axis causes compression in the left-hand part and tension in the right part. For symmetric sections subjected to uniaxial bending, the neutral axis is parallel to the moment axis. In biaxial bending (d), the top-left part is subjected to double compression and the bottom right part is subjected to double tension. The remaining parts are subjected to combined compression and tension
Q14) What is P-M Interaction?
A14) A load-moment interaction diagram planned on the P-M interaction chart represents the specific axial load capacity and ultimate bending moment capacity of a given section of column. The uniaxial bending moment capacity and axial load can be computed by using the principal of static symmetry and strain compatibility.
Q15) What are the different types of loads that affect Flexure behavior?
A15)
Q16) Give the classification of beam based on different conditions.
A16)
Straight beam
Curved beam
Tapered beam
2. Based on shape of crocc section:
I beam
T beam
C beam
3. Based on equilibrium conditions:
Statically determinate
Statically indeterminate
4. Based on type of support:
Simply Supported beam
Cantilever Beam
Overhang beam
Continuous beam
Fixed beam
Q17) How can you stop buckling in beams?
A17) To prevent buckling during substrate penetration, the critical load (Fcritical) of a configuration should be higher than the penetration load (Fpenetration). That is, the buckling ratio of Fcritical to Fpenetration should be higher than 1 (equation (1)).
Q18) What is the moment amplification?
A18) Moment Amplification for First-Order Elastic Analysis. For a member subjected to combined bending moment and axial force, the bending moments are amplified by the presence of axial force. This occurs to both isolated, statically determinate mem- bers and members in a statically indeterminant frame.
Q19) What are the of failure of columns?
A19) The following types of column failure could be identified.
