What is Base Plate & types of Columns based on Slenderness Ratio?

The Base plates are usually used to distribute column loads over a large enough area of supporting concrete construction that the design bearing strength of the concrete is not exceeded. It acts as a support to transfer the compression load acting over the columns. Column bases are usually assumed to be subject to axial compression and shear only.
Types of columns are as follows:
Long or Slender column: Length is more than critical buckling length and hence fails due to buckling.
Short column: The length is less than the critical buckling length and it fails by shearing.

What is the difference between Columns and Struts?

The Strut is mainly used in roof trusses and steel bridges. The main purpose of a strut is to maintain the rigidity of the structure and to take compressive force and is not designed to take any gravity load, but
the column is designed for various types of loads acting on it such as axial load bending moment gravity load shear forces buckling and horizontal load like earthquake load and wind load.
Both Column and Strut are comprehensive members but the main difference between them is column is a comprehensive member of the frame structure and the strut is a comprehensive member of the truss structure.
