    This document provides information to calculate the factor of safety against elastic buckling for a steel compression strut in a frame subjected to a distributed load. The strut is a steel tube with an outer diameter of 48 mm and wall thickness of 5 mm. The distributed load on the frame member is 10 kN/m. The material properties and member dimensions are used to calculate the effective length and radius of gyration of the strut. These values along with the material properties are then used to determine the critical buckling load using either Euler or Johnson theory. The calculated critical buckling load is then used to find the factor of safety against buckling of the strut.

    The steel compression strut BC of the frame ABC is a steel tube with an outer diameter
    of d = 48 mm and a wall thickness of t = 5 mm. Determine the factor of safety against
    elastic buckling if a distributed load of 10 kN/m is applied to the horizontal frame
    member AB as shown. Let E = 210 GPa and σY = 340 GPa.
