Masonry Column Depth
Masonry Column Depth
(OP)
Is the depth of a masonry column parallel to the member being supported? Or is the depth simply the longer dimension, if rectangular? Does it matter?
Thank you!

Design codes put limitations on slenderness ratio's and have different prescribed design parameter's for columns which fall below a certain limit vs. those that exceed this limit.
When considering the depth of a masonry column, I would consider it to be parrellel to the member supported, with the width being perpendicular. The depth would not always be the longer dimension however, depending on the geometry of the column.
good luck
