Side face reinforcement is provided along the two faces when the depth of  the web in a beam exceeds 750mm.
Q
What is the difference between short and long columns?
Ans.
  • Short Columns
 Short columns are those columns having slenderness ratio i.e ratio of effective length to its least lateral dimensions  less than or equal to 12.
  • Long columns
Long columns are those columns having slenderness 

ratio i.e ratio of effective length to its least lateral 

dimensions  greater  than or equal to 12.

  • Note: Long columns fail due to buckling while as short columns due to crushing .
