Q: A joint in the length of a column is known as
  • A. column splice
  • B. compression joint
  • C. load bearing joint
  • D. shear joint
Correct Answer: Option A - • A joint provided in the length of the column is called splice. • Theoretically, a splice plate should be located at the point of contra flexure of the column. • Column splices are located just above the floor beam connections usually about 2 to 3 feet above the floor. • Laced column are inclined member therefore axial load in laced column is lesser as compared to battened column.
