5.0 Analysis of Column
Fig. 5.0.a
5.0.1 Loading condition for columns
-P and H i.e. vertical and horizontal loads are
transferred to the column from the truss.
-The wind loads acting on the side cladding are
transferred to the column as two point loads shown by

-At the bottom, the column is fixed and hence moment

Loads on column
-Its value is negligible for all the load cases & hence neglected.
