Hanging Columns

In addition to the I-Section, Rectangular, and Round HSS shapes available for both standard and hanging columns, channels, single angles, double angles, tees, round bars and flat bars can be assigned to hanging columns. The table below describes how each of the design codes handle hanging columns subjected to different load types.
