Chapter 2 Example 1 Compression Column PDF

This document provides the steps to check the adequacy of a 356x358x129 UC column section for an axial load of 4000KN. It determines that the section is classified as class 3. It calculates the buckling lengths and non-dimensional slenderness ratio to determine the governing buckling axis is the z-axis. Using the column curve c and formulas, it calculates the design buckling resistance and finds that the section is safe for the applied load.

Example 1: Check the adequacy of a 356x358x129 UC for the column

shown here which is pin-ended about both axes and has no


intermediate restraint with axial force of Nsd=4000KN. Use Fe510 for
steel.

Section properties from table are as follows

Solution:

For Fe510 b/c t<40mm,

Step 1 select trial section: it is given as 356x358x129 UC

Step 2 Section classification

Out stand element of the compression flange for rolled sections:

Web of an I-beam where whole section is subjected to axial compression

The overall section is class 3.

Therefore no need of area reduction and hence A=164cm2 and bA =1 for class 3 sections

Step 3 calculate Buckling length Ley=Lez=6m

Step 4 Calculate design compression resistance


Step 4 Determine the non dimensional slenderness ratio

Thus z-axis is the governing buckling axis.

Step 6 determine the appropriate column curve

Buckling curve is curve c

Step 7 Determine the value of

From the formula or table and interpolating for

Step 6 Calculate design buckling resistance

section is safe for the applied load.
