metal building - gravity column?
(OP)
I'm designing the foundation for metal building and hve a huge horizontal support reaction from metal building venodor.
I believe this is gravity column but I'm not so sure.
Do these columns carry horizontal load from wind typically in metal building, or should I question the vendor drawing support reactions?

Interior it is likely gravity only, exterior and it is likely a beam-column. If it is a frame component then you may have extremely large horizontal forces.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

One must examine the frame and the connections. Is the column top under the frame or is the column beside the frame?
