    Columns: ES13 - Mechanics of Deformable Bodies

    1) Columns are long, slender members that carry axial compressive loads and fail due to buckling. The three main types are pinned-end, fixed-end, and free-end columns. 2) The effective length and slenderness ratio are important factors for determining the critical buckling load of a column. The critical load depends on the modulus of elasticity, moment of inertia, effective length, and radius of gyration of the column. 3) Columns are classified as long or short based on the slenderness ratio. Different equations are used to calculate the critical load for long versus short columns. The allowable load is then determined using a design factor.

    COLUMNS

    Dianne Mae M. Magomnang


    Columns

    • Is a long, slender member that carries an


    axial compressive load that fails due to
    bulking.

    • At bulking the load will not reduce, the


    column collapse.
    • This must be avoid
    What if the column buckle and didn’t
    collapse?
    • What’s on the column?

    • Modulus of Elasticity of the materials


    • What if the column is loaded
    “ECCENTRICALLY”?
    3 FORMS OF COLUMNS (end forms)

    1. Pinned-end Column- is guided so that the


    end cannot sway from side to side.
    2. Fixed-end Column- against the rotation at
    the support.
    3. Free-end Column- ex. flagpole
    Effective Length

    • The manner to support of both ends of the


    column.
    Le= KL
    End Fixity

    • Ends of column are supported.


    Radius of Gyration

    • The tendency for a column to buckle is


    dependent on the shape and the
    dimensions of its cross section, along
    with it length and to the adjacent
    members or support.
    𝑰
    r=
    𝑨
    Slender Ratio

    • The ratio of Effective length of the column


    to its least radius of gyration.

    𝐿𝑒 𝐾𝐿
    Slenderness Ratio = =
    𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑛 𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑛
    Transition Slender Ratio or
    Column Constant
    • To analyzing the straight and centrally
    loaded columns.

    Critical Load

    • At which the column begin to buckle

    Pcr = =
    (𝐾𝐿Τ𝑟)2 (𝐾𝐿)2

    This equation aid the design in column which


    specify the size and shape.

    Example 1

    1. A column has a solid circular cross


    section, 1.25 inches in diameter; it has a
    length of 4.50ft and pinned at both ends. If it
    is made from AISI 1020 cold-drawn steel,
    what would be a safe column loading?
    Example 2

    2. Determine the critical load on a steel


    having a rectangular cross section, 12mm
    by 18mm and a length of 280mm. It is
    proposed to use AISI 1040 hot-rolled steel.
    The lower end of the column is inserted into
    a close-fitting socket and is welded securely.
    The upper end is pinned.
