1) Columns can buckle under compressive loads if they are too slender, with the critical buckling load determined by the Euler equation that depends on the column effective length and moment of inertia.
2) The column effective length depends on end conditions and may be less than the actual length, with pinned ends having the lowest effective length.
3) The AISC buckling criterion is used to determine the allowable stress in a column based on its slenderness ratio and accounts for both elastic and inelastic buckling.
