A Vertical Support Unit, a structural element designed to bear and transfer loads primarily along its vertical axis. These units are fundamental components in building frames, scaffolding, and support systems for heavy machinery or pipe racks. A VSU is engineered to resist compressive forces and provide stability, with its design and material selection governed by project-specific load calculations and building codes like ASCE 7.
