A pillar supports the axial force and generally supports the axial compression but sometimes it supports the axial tension. For axial tension, the pillar is a very effective structural member, for example 40 cm2 sectional area of mild steel can support 1000 kN force (σ = 250MPa). Considering that the pillar sometimes supports tension, attention should be paid to the connection at both ends of the pillar.
