6.3.1 Columns and Beams

1. If a beam bends in one direction, what is the effect on the column?

Then the column would uneven balance and either lean toward the beam thats bending or away from it.

2. If a column compresses too severely, how does that affect a beam?

The beam can become very stiff and possibly bend.

3. In the design of a column and beam system, what are the geometric and physical principles that must be considered for safety and sustainability of a structure?

The weights and lengths of the structure and structures around it.

4. What information is provided in column schedules? What additional information is needed in designing a column and beam bracing system?

The number of columns and the different types of columns. The surroundings and restricitions around the designing of the structure.
