13.1 CRITICAL LOAD
Long slender members subjected to axial
compressive force are called columns.
The lateral deflection that occurs is
called buckling.
The maximum axial load a column can
support when it is on the verge of
buckling is called the critical load, Pcr.

13. Buckling of Columns
13.1 CRITICAL LOAD
Spring develops restoring force F = k, while
applied load P develops two horizontal
components, Px = P tan , which tends to push the
pin further out of equilibrium.
Since is small,
= (L/2) and tan .
Thus, restoring spring
force becomes
F = kL/2, and
disturbing force is
2Px = 2P.

13.2 IDEAL COLUMN WITH PIN SUPPORTS

An ideal column is perfectly straight before loading,


made of homogeneous material, and upon which
the load is applied through the centroid of the x-
section.
We also assume that the material behaves in a
linear-elastic manner and the column buckles or
bends in a single plane.

13. Buckling of Columns
13.2 IDEAL COLUMN WITH PIN SUPPORTS

In order to determine the critical load and buckled


shape of column, we apply Eqn 12-10,
d 2
EI 2 M 13 - 1

Recall that this eqn assume
the slope of the elastic
curve is small and
deflections occur only in
bending. We assume that
the material behaves in a
linear-elastic manner and
the column buckles or
bends in a single plane.

13.2 IDEAL COLUMN WITH PIN SUPPORTS
A column will buckle about the principal axis of the
x-section having the least moment of inertia
(weakest axis).
For example, the meter stick shown will
buckle about the a-a axis and not
the b-b axis.
Thus, circular tubes made excellent
columns, and square tube or those
shapes having Ix Iy are selected
for columns.

13.2 IDEAL COLUMN WITH PIN SUPPORTS
The geometric ratio L/r in Eqn 13-6 is known as the
slenderness ratio.
It is a measure of the columns flexibility and will be
used to classify columns as long, intermediate or
short.

13.2 IDEAL COLUMN WITH PIN SUPPORTS
IMPORTANT
Columns are long slender members that are
subjected to axial loads.
Critical load is the maximum axial load that a
column can support when it is on the verge of
buckling.
This loading represents a case of neutral
equilibrium.

13.2 IDEAL COLUMN WITH PIN SUPPORTS
IMPORTANT
An ideal column is initially perfectly straight, made
of homogeneous material, and the load is applied
through the centroid of the x-section.
A pin-connected column will buckle about the
principal axis of the x-section having the least
moment of intertia.
The slenderness ratio L/r, where r is the smallest
radius of gyration of x-section. Buckling will occur
about the axis where this ratio gives the greatest
value.

EXAMPLE 13.2 (SOLN)
From table in Appendix B, columns x-sectional area
and moments of inertia are A = 5890 mm2,
Ix = 45.5106 mm4,and Iy = 15.3106 mm4.

By comparing with Eqn 13-5, a column fixed-

13.3 COLUMNS HAVING VARIOUS TYPES OF SUPPORTS

Effective length
If a column is not supported by pinned-ends, then
Eulers formula can also be used to determine the
critical load.
L must then represent the distance between the
zero-moment points.
This distance is called the columns effective length,
L e.

13. Buckling of Columns
EXAMPLE 13.3
A W15024 steel column is 8 m
long and is fixed at its ends as
shown. Its load-carrying capacity
is increased by bracing it about
the y-y axis using struts that are
assumed to be pin-connected
to its mid-height. Determine the
load it can support sp that the
column does not buckle nor
material exceed the yield stress.
Take Est = 200 GPa and Y = 410 MPa.

13. Buckling of Columns
EXAMPLE 13.3 (SOLN)
Buckling behavior is
different about the x and y
axes due to bracing.
Buckled shape for each
case is shown.
The effective length for
buckling about the x-x axis
is (KL)x = 0.5(8 m) = 4 m.
For buckling about the y-y
axis, (KL)y = 0.7(8 m/2) = 2.8 m.
We get Ix = 13.4106 mm4 and Iy = 1.83106 mm4
from Appendix B.

13. Buckling of Columns
EXAMPLE 13.3 (SOLN)
NOTE: From Eqn 13-11, we see that buckling always
occur about the column axis having the largest
slenderness ratio. Thus using data for the radius of
gyration from table in Appendix B,
KL 4 m1000 mm/m 60.4

r x 66.2 mm
KL 2.8 m1000 mm/m 114.3

r y 24.5 mm
Hence, y-y axis buckling will occur, which is the same
conclusion reached by comparing Eqns 13-11 for
both axes.

*13.4 THE SECANT FORMULA

The actual criterion for load application on a column


is limited to either a specified deflection of the
column or by not allowing the maximum stress in
the column exceed an
allowable stress.
We apply a load P to column
at a short eccentric distance
e from centroid of x-section.
This is equivalent to applying
a load P and moment
M = Pe.

2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd 34


13. Buckling of Columns
*13.4 THE SECANT FORMULA

From free-body diagram, internal moment in column


is M P e 13 - 13
Thus, the general solution for the differential eqn of

A r 2r EA
max = maximum elastic stress in column, at inner
concave side of midpoint (compressive).
P = vertical load applied to the column. P < Pcr
unless e = 0, then P = Pcr (Eqn 13-5)
e = eccentricity of load P, measured from the neutral
axis of columns x-sectional area to line of action of
P.

13. Buckling of Columns
*13.4 THE SECANT FORMULA

The secant formula


c = distance from neutral axis to outer fiber of
column where maximum compressive stress max
occurs.
A = x-sectional area of column
L = unsupported length of column in plane of
bending. For non pin-supported columns, Le should
be used.
E = modulus of elasticity of material.
r = radius of gyration, r = (I/A), where I is computed
about the neutral or bending axis.

13. Buckling of Columns
*13.4 THE SECANT FORMULA

Design
Once eccentricity ratio has been determined,
column data can be substituted into Eqn 13-19.
For max = Y, corresponding load PY is determined
from a trial-and-error procedure, since eqn is
transcendental and cannot be solved explicitly for
PY.
Note that PY will always be smaller than the critical
load Pcr, since Eulers formula assumes
unrealistically that column is axially loaded without
eccentricity.
2005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd 41
13. Buckling of Columns
*13.4 THE SECANT FORMULA
IMPORTANT
Due to imperfections in manufacturing or application
of the load, a column will never suddenly buckle,
instead it begins to bend.
The load applied to a column is related to its
deflections in a nonlinear manner, so the principle of
superposition does not apply.
As the slenderness ratio increases, eccentrically
loaded columns tend to fail at or near the Euler
buckling load.

EXAMPLE 13.6
The W20059 A-36 steel
column shown is fixed at its
base and braced at the top so
that it is fixed from
displacement, yet free to
rotate about the y-y axis.
Also, it can sway to the side in
the y-z plane. Determine the
maximum eccentric load the
column can support before it
either begins to buckle or the
steel yields.

13. Buckling of Columns
EXAMPLE 13.6 (SOLN)
From support conditions, about the y-y
axis, the column behaves as if it was
pinned at the top, fixed at the base and
subjected to an axial load P.
About the x-x axis, the column is free at
the top and fixed at the base, and
subjected to both axial load P and
moment M = P(200 mm).
