    Dear Mr.Anand,

    If we are using I member as column, then what is the need of doing concrete around the section. it helps the aesthetic only. because the I member can take the buckling, bending, deformation etc.
    Some where i had seen, people are using Circular hollow section as column and they kept reinforcement and concrete inside the section.

    Thank you
