- A column ABC is supported at ends A and C and compressed by an axial load P (figure a). Lateral support is provided at point B but only in the plane of the figure; lateral support perpendicular to the plane of the figure is provided only at A and C. The column is constructed of two channel sections (C 6 × 8.2) back to back (see figure b). The modulus of elasticity of the column is E = 29,500 ksi and the proportional limit is 50 ksi.
