bracing
(OP)
I have a 5.5m column from the footer to the top of the building. It is connected to a ringbeam thats extending from the building. This column and ringbeam is for a patio. How do I brace the both of them?

RE: bracing
The column at 5.5m high does sound unusually long. However, depending on the column section properties of the column, it may not actually need bracing (if the ring beam at the top is stiff).
The only way to resolve this safely is for someone qualified to physically look at it or check the calcs.
