Related Theory:
Column
A column is a line element ( long slender bar) subjected to axial compression. The term is
frequently use to describe a vertical member .
Types of Column
Slender Column
The column which has relatively high slenderness ratio is called slender oe long column. ( length
is greater than 30 times to the least cross sectional dimension).
Such element fail due to excessive lateral deflection i.e. buckling at value of stress considerably
less than the yield stress.
Short Column
The column which has relatively low slenderness ratio is called short column ( length of not
greater than 10 times to least cross sectional dimension.
Failure occur when stress over cross section reaches the yield or crushing value of the material .
Intermediate Column
The failure of column is neither short nor slender and occur due to combination of buckling and
yielding / crushing.
Buckling of Column
Lateral bending in column when an compressive load is applied to column . Column buckle due
to bending .

Procedure:
3. Now fix the column in testing machine and select the end condition wheather it
is fix or pinnes.
5. Now adjust the column in testing machine in such a way that is starting taking
load when dial gauge start giving reading you should stop applying load and then
fix the dial gauge at zero at zero load .
6. Now start applying load through machine on column which is fix in machine at
specific end conditions and start noting the value of dial gauge and load on digitak
load machine .
7. Continue applying load until load difference is very small . Note down all
readings of load at different interval .
