A Composite Column is structural member created using two or more different materials. The most common composite column in construction is made with a combination of structural steel and reinforced concrete, but composite columns can also be made with timber, plastics, and various other materials.
Composite Columns are used in construction for their combination of tensile and compressive strength. The reinforcing steel gives the column tensile strength while the concrete gives the column compressive strength. Composite columns can be either cast-in-place or pre-cast depending on the requirements of each application. These columns can support an enormous amount of weight and are used for high-rise buildings, industrial construction, and even in some residential applications.
