Design of Column Supporting Discontinuous System Based on ASCE 7-10 & ACI 318-14
The term column applies especially to a large round support (the shaft of the column) with a capital and a base or pedestal, which is made of stone, or appearing to be so.
A small wooden or metal support is typically called a post, and supports with a rectangular or other non-round section are usually called piers.
