beam transfer loads from the joist to the wall or column where it supports..
Universal columns (or beams) are H-shaped steel joists with parallel flanges which are thickened to carry an axial load (or bending load). The "top and bottom" flanges of the Ɪ girder are slightly thicker than the middle.
incolumns with no eccentricty the entire section is subject to axial load only and the entire section is considered to be in compresion while the eccentric loading of the column results in a moment of the magnitude ( M=ep ) where e:is the eccentricity and P is the axial load acting on the column and so the section will be subjected to both tension and compression
column is designed for lateral load it is said to be unbraced column, if not braced column
