Pier

A vertical structural support element, typically square or rectangular in cross-section, used to support beams, arches, or other structural loads. Piers can be freestanding or integrated into walls and are often larger than columns. They distribute concentrated loads to foundations and may be constructed of stone, brick, concrete, or steel.
