Universal beams and columns are both very different components of a steel structure. Whilst beams are laid horizontal on the “x axis” bearing a horizontal load, columns are vertical on the “y axis” and bear the vertical load.
Be sure to select the correct component for the job. Better still, appoint a component engineer to calculate all loads and appropriately sized components for you."
"They are both different beams are used to spread the load horizontally and a column is for supporting weight directly above it."
