Column size for 10m span and Column design Thumb rule, size of column depend on total load applied on the column, alignment of column and span between two column, in this topic we try to find out column size for 10m span.
The size of the columns depends on the total load on the columns. There are axial loads and lateral loads.

Column size depends on various factors like number of floors, span between two column, is it short or slender, For 10m span 1 storey/single floor/ground floor/G+0 residential building, it could be 300mmx300mm (12″×12″), for G+1 it could be 400mmx 450mm (16″×18″), for G+2 it could be 450mmx 600mm (15″×24″),for G+3 it could be 600mmx 600mm (24″×24″) and for G+4 it could be 600mmx 750mm (24″×30″) using M25 grade of concrete ratio 1:1:2 with Fe550 grade of steel when a tributary area 30m×30m and span between each column is 10m consists of 16 column.
