GUIDED PROBLEM
An 8 m long steel column is pinned at the top and fixed at the bottom. The column is provided
with lateral support at mid-height about the weak axis.
The properties of the column section are as follows:
178.1 x 10 mm
ly = 18.8 x 10 mm*
A=8129 mm²
fy=400 MPa
What is the critical effective slenderness ratio?
What is the Euler critical load?
What is the Euler critical stress?
a) Determine the effective lengths:
a. About the x-axis: It is pinned at the top and fixed at the bottom.
k=_
L =_
Effective length:
b. About the y-axis: The lateral support at the mid-height will take effect. There will
be two segments. Both have lengths of:
One of the segments have the pinned support and the lateral support. It will be treated as
pinned ends. Thus, k=. The unbraced length is L=
The effective length is:
kL=
The other segment have the fixed support and the lateral support. It will be treated as fixed-
pinned column. Thus, k =. The unbraced length is L=
The effective length is:
kl=
From the two effective lengths, choose the larger value (since it is more critical in slenderness.
Thus, the effective length for the y-axis is:
Effective length: KL=
kL=
b) Euler Critical Load:
Using E= 200 GPa for steel, the critical load based on the slenderness in the x-axis is:
Now, that of the slendemess in the y-axis,
c) Euler Critical Stress:
Using stress = Force / Area,
Pcy=
n²Elx
Pax=L²₂
²Ely=
L²
Choose the smaller load: Perit =
This is now the maximum load that the column can
carry without considering buckling. (The load where the column will start to buckle)
