Q2. Difference between short column and long column
Ans. 
Short columns fail due to crushing of material, while long columns fail due to buckling.
• Short columns have a slenderness ratio less than a certain critical value, while long columns have a slenderness ratio greater than that value.

• Short columns are more likely to fail in compression, while long columns are more likely to fail in buckling.

• Examples of short columns include columns in buildings, while examples of long col
