The engineering students usually find it difficult to compute loads for column and footings design. But, in this construction article, some useful information is given to make the process easy. Types of loads on column: 1. Self weight of the column x Number of floors 2. Self weight of beams per running meter 3. Load of walls per running meter 4. Total Load of slab (Dead load + Live load + Self weight)
