Solution: 

A column that fails due to direct stress is called short column. Columns are structural members that experience axial compressive loads while they are in use.

Types of the column

• Long column: Buckling causes failure.
• Medium column: Buckling and crushing cause it to fail.
• Short column: Crushing from direct stress causes failure.
• Slenderness Ratio-based classification of columns
• Short Column: Short columns are those that have a slenderness ratio of under 32. 
• Medium Column: The ratio of the medium column’s slenderness ranges from 32 to 120.
• Long Column: The Long column has a slenderness ratio of greater than 120.
