20 kN/m ↓↓ 4 m 3 m 2 m 30 kN a 1.5a A beam is supported by a column 3 m tall with dimensions a x 1.5a as shown above. The column is fixed at the base and pinned to the beam. Assume a Young's modulus of E = 25 GPa and yield strength of σ,, = 20 MPa for the column. a) Draw the SFD and BMD for the beam and determine the axial load acting on the column. b) What is the minimum value of "a" that would not result in buckling of the column? c) If the column was instead fixed to the beam, how would this change the minimum value of "a"?

Members with compression and bending

Compression members are structural elements that carry compressive axial force. They are the vertical members of a building that support beams and their design, which is governed by buckling and strength. Columns are known as struct or compression members, which are subjected to compressive forces. These members provide stiffness to the building and avoid any imperfection regarding the transfer of axial load. For instance, webs in a truss, braces in a framed structure, tiers, and so on.
