If your Slenderness Ratio  is more than 12 then it's a long column or if it's less than 12 then it's called short column.

Long Column ( I / b ) > 12  or I/r  > 40

 

I = effective length / r = Radius of gyration / b= Least dimension

 

I/r is slenderness ration and it should be =<40  / this is for Steel ! Remember !

         THIS IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION ,

  • Short RCC Column =<12
  • Long RCC Column >12
  • Short Steel column, =<50
  • Intermediate Steel Column >40 & <200
  • Long Steel Column >200
