    For Short column,
    Span/Least lateral dimension < 12
    but in case of long columns, it is > 12
    For short column,
    slenderness ratio is < 45
    But in long column, it is > 45.
    For short column,
    Radius of gyration is MORE,
    but in long columns, radius of gyration is LESS
    For short column,
    Loading failure is called- Crushing (due to compressive stress)
    But in long column, failure is due to- Bulking or Crippling Load (due to Bulking stress).
