concrete columns
Load-bearing cement posts
Concrete columns are vertical structural elements made of concrete, typically reinforced with steel, that support the weight of a building or structure above them.
They transfer loads from beams and slabs down to the foundation.
The parking garage rested on massive concrete columns.
In architecture, they may be left exposed as a design element or concealed within walls.
