Distinguish between tied, spiral and composite columns

 

                                 

     Tied columns

                      column in which the longitudinal bars are tied together with separate lateral reinforcement which are also known as ties at the specific interval along with the column height. The longitudinal Steel bars fail by buckling outward between ties and the column failure occur suddenly.

 

Spiral Columns

                        Spiral columns are cylindrical in the shape with the continuous helical bars which are wrapped around the column. The reinforcement which is used in the spiral column is also known as helical reinforcement or spiral reinforcement. The Spiral reinforcement helps to support in the transverse direction.

composite columns

 

Composite columns are the combination of two traditional building materials, construction steel and concrete. They gives good architectural look, and was used in old times. Since composite columns were usually built behind steel columns and reinforced concrete columns, their design approach was not based on steel or concrete construction.

Modern columns are made of reinforced steel, concrete and reinforcing steel. methods.
