How to verify if the column can support the applied load or force

Structural loads or actions belong to forces, deformations, or accelerations employed to a structure or its components.

Loads produce stresses, deformations, and displacements in structures. Evaluation of their effects is accomplished by the methods of structural analysis.

In this construction video tutorial, one can learn how to verify whether the column can support the applied load or force.

In the video, the solution is given to the following problem asked by a civil engineering student.

Problem : Will it be possible to bear 1500 kips load by the provided mild steel column?

Provided that column height (represented as L) = 8 ft
Cross Section = 10 x 10 in
Both ends pinned.

To get full demonstration, watch the following video.
