Column - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1496 words) |
 | Columns are frequently used to support beams or arches on which the upper parts of walls or ceilings rest. |
| The straight column under load is in stable equilibrium if a lateral force, applied between the two ends of the column, produces a small lateral deflection which disappears and the column returns to its straight form when the lateral force is removed. |
| A timber column is usually extended by the use of a steel tube or wrapped-around sheet-metal plate bolted onto the two connecting timber sections. |
