Design of Compression Members

NSCP Provisions for Compression Members are outlined in
Section 505:
𝑃𝑛 = 𝐹𝑐𝑟 𝐴𝑔
Slenderness Limitation: L / 200
The compressive strength of elements are sub-divided into:

1. Flexural Buckling of Members without Slender Elements
2. Torsional and Torsional-Flexural Buckling of Members without Slender
Elements
3. Single Angle Compression Members
4. Built-up members
5. Members with slender elements

The critical buckling stress is a function of slenderness:

Squash Load – Full Yielded Cross

Section (Ideal Case)
When a short, stocky column is loaded the strength is limited by
the yielding of the entire cross section.
Absence of residual stress, all fibers of cross-section yield

simultaneously at P/A=Fy. All elements of the section will yield.
Section Capacity:
𝑃 = 𝐹𝑦𝐴𝑔

Effect of Residual Stress (Actual Case)

RESIDUAL STRESSES
➢ Results in a reduction in the effective stiffness of the cross

section, but the ultimate squash load is unchanged.
➢ Reduction in effective stiffness can influence onset of

buckling.

Effect of Residual Stress (Actual Case)

RESIDUAL STRESSES
➢ With residual stresses, flange tips yield first at
P/A + residual stress = Fy
➢ Gradually get yield of entire cross section.

➢ Stiffness is reduced after 1st yield

To understand the applicability and limitations of Euler Buckling load, let us
plot the relationship between the slenderness and the ratio of the critical stress
Fcr over Fy for member W10 x 49. Assuming that its weak axis is not braced.
Fy = 248 MPa
Properties of W10x49
A = 9,290 rx = 110.29
IX = 1.13E+08 ry = 64.792 Major/strong Axis Minor/weak Axis
IY = 3.90E+07 Fy = 248 Buckling Buckling
Buckling about X is bending

about the strong axis of the
columns since the moment of
inertia about X, Ix, is higher x
than the moment of inertia
about Y—which has a y
smaller moment of inertia, Iy

Effective Length Factors for Multi-Story Frame

When a column is part of a multi-story frame, the stiffness of the members
framing into the column impact the rotation that could occur at the column
ends. The rotation for this case neither that of a fixed support nor a pinned
support. These frames in the building may be classified as:
❑ Braced frame – also known as sidesway prevented frame or sidesway

inhibited frame. K factors for this type of frame ranges from 0.5-1.0.
❑ Moment frame – sidesway permitted frame, sidesway uninhibited frame.
The lowest possible K factor for this type of columns is 1.0.

Local Instability (Members with Slender Elements)

The columns we discussed thus far are columns that are controlled by
overall column buckling. There are some structural steel shapes,
however, that may fail in an another form of buckling prior to the
column buckling. This buckling is local buckling of the elements that
make up the column shape. If the section is susceptible to local buckling,
then the strength that is expected must be reduced from that calculated in
the previous lecture.
Failure of column due to local buckling.
To determine if the column is susceptible to local buckling,

the local slenderness of its elements must be determined and
compared to code-provided limits. The section of a structural
shape is classified into two:
1. Unstiffned elements
2. Stiffened elements
Geschwindner et al. 2017
Rodolfo2021/10/29

✓ Unstiffened elements – are elements unsupported along one
edge parallel to the direction of load.
✓ Stiffened elements – are elements supported along both edges
parallel to the direction of load.
Definition of Unstiffened and Stiffened Elements.
(After Williams, A. 2011)
Rodolfo2021/10/29
23
29/10/2021

For columns, the section can be
classified as slender or non-
slender. The columns we so far
discussed are non-slender
columns—these are sections not
susceptible to local buckling. A
column is said to be slender if the
following width to thickness
ratios are exceeded.
Note that these limits are given in

Table 502.4.1 (Unstiffened
Elements) and Table 502.4.2
(Stiffened elements)
(Segui W.T., A. 2013)

unstiffened elements.

Biaxial Bending
Biaxial bending occurs when a beam is subjected to a loading
condition that produces bending about both the major (strong) axis
and the minor (weak) axis.

Design of Steel Beam-Columns

(Combined Axial and Bending Loads)
Combination of multiple states of stress:
Design provisions are simplified and rely on the inherent ductility

of steel to redistribute forces throughout the section.
The basic principle for design is an interaction equation which

combines forces from axial and bending loads. Shear is checked
independently.
Modes of failure from all independent modes are analyzed

independently of other modes and forces. This is not completely
realistic, but is sufficiently accurate for design purposes.
Rodolfo2021/10/29

Interaction Principles:
The interaction of axial load and bending within the elastic response range
of a beam-column (a member subjected to both axial load and bending)
can be investigated through straightforward techniques of superposition.
This, however, has some limitations that must be recognized:
1. Superposition of stress is correct only for behavior within elastic
range.
2. Superposition of strain can be extended to inelastic range only when
the strains are small.
3. Superposition cannot account for member deformation or stability
effects such as local buckling.
4. Superposition cannot account for structural deflections and system
stability.
Rodolfo2021/10/29

Interaction Equation must reflect the following characteristic:
For Axial Loads

1. Maximum column strength
2. Individual column slenderness
For Bending Moment

1. Lateral support conditions
2. Sidesway conditions
3. Member second-order effects
4. Structure second-order effects
5. Moment gradient along the member

Design requirements for members part of SMF

Additional requirements for members part of SMF are provided in
Part 2A Seismic Provision for Structural Steel Buildings.
• Scope of Part 2A Seismic Provision for Structural Steel Buildings is only
for buildings analyzed with R > 3.0
• Since SLRS must have R 3.0, then these requirement in Part 2A
becomes mandatory
• For SMF, the primary requirements rely on the Beam to Column
connections in conformance shall be based on either the use of pre-
qualified connections (AISC 358) or testing as described in NSCP 2015
Chapter 5, Appendix B.4.

Design of Members part of SMF

Other requirements:
• Panel Zone Strength
𝑡 ≥ (𝑑𝑧 + 𝑤𝑧 )/90 (𝐸𝑞𝑛 522 − 2)
• Continuity plates are connection-dependent and therefore must be

checked using AISC 358-05 requirements
• Strong Column/Weak Beam Requirements

Design of Members part of SMF

Other requirements:
• Protected Zones
The region at each end of the beam subject to inelastic straining shall
be designated as a protected zone, and is prequalified connection-
dependent following AISC 358-05
• Lateral bracing requirements following NSCP 2015 Section 522.7 and

522.8
• Beam and Column Limitations such as maximum beam and column

depth, beam and column weight, minimum span-to-depth ratio in
beams, and additional flange-to-thickness ratio requirements which are
also prequalified connection-dependent.
Rodolfo2021/10/29
40
29/10/2021
Concluding Remarks
• Seismic design of steel members part of SMF subjected to axial and
bending must comply both Part 1 and Part 2A requirements of NSCP
2015 Chapter 5 Structural Steel.
• Prequalified connection dictates most of the additional requirements
• Other important checks such as material specification, importance of

checking panel zone strength, requirements for continuity plate, and
strong column/weak beam check are all part of Part 2A NSCP 2015
Chapter 5 seismic provisions.
• Future code updates will already introduce a chapter on prequalified

connections.
