Question

Determine the maximum allowable eccentricity for the column/axial member. 

The column is fixed at both ends.
External axial load applied → F= 453.589 KN
Youngs modulus →E = 200 GP
Diameter of the column → d= 0.3048 m
Cross sectional area of the column → A = 0.073 m²
So the area moment of inertia of the column about transverse axis:
→/=

-×0.30484 = 0.00042 m4
Calculate and show that the column/axial member is safe and can withstand the load

If the applied axial load becomes critical load then the length of the column can be found out by the above
formulae.
So:
4π²El
L²
→ 453.589 x 10³ =
→F=
4π²x200 x 109 x 0.00042
→ L²=7311 m
→ L = 85.50 m
So the column will fail due to buckling if the length of the column will be greater than the above.
And in this condition, the critical stress will be:
46=
A
453.589 × 103
0.073
Because the induced critical stress is less than the yield strength of the material so it is the limit of the stress
induced in the column. Beyond this stress the column will fail due to buckling.
= 6.21 MP
