RE: RCC - Column, SLA, Beams and Cover

Column is a vertical compressive member which takes vertical loads from the slabs, beams, etc.

Beamsare horizantal tensile members that takes shear forces and b.m's from the slabs.

Cover is the spacing between the c/c of the reinforcement provided in tensile zone to the topedge of that member.
