in this video i have discussed some terms from earthquake engineering and then i shifted to the most interesting factor that affects on structural damage and its relation. in building structure there are two types of columns. so first we need to know, what is short column and what is long column. what is difference between short column and long column. then we can shift towards the effect of short column and long column. no these effects are related to earthquake , hence we need to know what is earthquake and how they are caused and what are there effects on structure or building. so that means we need to know how short column gets affect by earthquake force. suppose if your building is in Nepal and earthquake comes then these lateral forces that are generated by Nepal earthquake will try to move the building laterally. after analysis it has been cleared that short column attract more earthquake force than long column. hence short column needs to be designed heavily. if it is not then nepal earthquake / lateral forces  will fail  the short column. as we know how load is distributed in structure ie load transfer mechanism of building structure. slab transfer the load on beam , beam transfer the load on column then column transfer the load on the footing.  so this is the mechanism or way of load transfer  in building structure. after studying load transfer mechanism you will understand the importance of column and how its failure affect in collapse of entire building. after knowing effect of earthquake on structure or specially on short column we need to know in which case we will get the short column. that has been described in the later half of the video.
