A column or beam is considered unfit for use when it exhibits visible signs of structural damage, such as cracking, buckling, or significant deformation. Additionally, if the material shows signs of deterioration due to corrosion, rot, or excessive wear, it may compromise the structural integrity. Furthermore, if the load-bearing capacity is exceeded or if it fails to meet safety codes and standards, it should be deemed unfit for use. Regular inspections and load assessments are essential to determine their suitability.
