    on our 8th sem we design beams and columns.. as far as i can remember we design columns by using the largest Mu and Pu given by the staad. we applied 19 load cases on our building.

    largest Pu, Mux, Muy. you can check this one on maximum forces by section property if you are using staad pro v8i. but i think it is not economical if you design the column as per large all values especially a small buildings.
