assuming that the column in question is subjected to varieties of load combinations.
1. What design loads do you apply? is it, the worst possible(largest Pu, Mux, Muy)?
2. Largest Mux?
3. Largest Muy?
4. Largest Pu?
5. Biggest defletion?
6. Biggest Shear(whenever there is earthquake load?)...

I have one question with regards with staad. Staad takes into account series of combination load, takes the most critical and uses it in design. What makes my model so bugling is that its taking into account less design loads then comes up with over designed columns. Perhaps if you try...
