A compression member is an important component of reinforced concrete structures. Compression member such as column, in general, It can be defined as an element that carries direct axial stresses which result in compressive stress of such amount that these stresses largely have effect on its design. Both column & strut are compressive elements, the effective length of which is more than 3 times the least horizontal dimensions. When an element carries mainly axial stresses is vertical, it’s called as a Column, while if it is inclined or horizontal, it’s called as a ‘Strut’. Depending upon structural or architectural requirements, Columns are mainly seen in shapes, i.e. (circular, rectangular, square, hexagonal, etc.). Concrete as we came to know through various experiments is stronger in compression.
