Column Theory
Ideal case:
• Perfectly straight
• No imperfection
• Concentric load
• Stresses are uniform over the entire
cross-section
• Effective length
• Actual length
• End condition
• In frame (Annexure D)

Failure Modes
• Local buckling
• Squashing/Crushing
– Stocky columns
• Flexural buckling/lateral buckling
– Deflection caused by bending/flexure
• Torsional buckling
– Torsional rigidity < bending rigidity
– Axis remains straight, the member twists
– Occurs by twisting about the shear center in the longitudinal axis
• Flexural and torsional buckling
– Need to be checked for sections which are single symmetric or having no symmetry

Column Strength Curve
• Euler’s critical load (Pcr)
– Members is perfectly straight
– Load is concentric
– No bending moment before buckling
– Bending stiffness, EI= Constant
– Causes elastic buckling of the column
– Pcr << Ppl
• Pcr > Ppl
– Non-linear stress-strain curve
– Inelastic buckling
– E can not be used
– EI does not remain constant
• Presence of residual stresses

Buckling Class of Cross-Section
Accidental eccentricity arising due to imperfection in the fabrication is dependent on the
cross-section of the compression members.
Based on Perry-Robertson approach, Buckling class of cross sections has been defined as:
a, b, c, d (Fig. 8, IS 800)

Example 1
• Determine the design axial load capacity of the column ISMB 350 @ 52.4 N/m if the length
of the column is 3 m and its both ends are fixed.

Design of Compression Members

Example 2
• Design a compression member 3.5 m long in a building subjected to a factored load of 550
kN. Both the ends of the column are effectively restrained in direction and position. Use Fe
410.

Example 3
• A double angle strut of length 2.4 m consists of two unequal angles ISA 60x40x6 mm.
Determine the axial load carrying capacity of the member if the angles are connected back
to back to a gusset plate of thickness 10 mm as shown in Figure. Assume both the ends to
be pinned.
