Column and beam Structure drawing of AutoCAD, dwg file.

This Architectural drawing is AutoCAD 2d drawing of Column and beam Structure drawing of AutoCAD, dwg file. The beam is a horizontal structural component that mainly carries vertical loads. In contrast, columns are vertical compression members that span from substructure to superstructure and have a vital role in transferring load from the top of the structure to the foundation. Columns act as a structural element that transfers loads from the slab, (i.e., roof, upper floor) to the foundation and finally to the soil beneath a structure. They are typically vertically oriented. In construction, columns are used in trusses, building frames, and structure support for bridges. For more details and information download the drawing file.
