It should be noted that the actual
buckling load is a function of:
I
r2 where r radius of gyration
A
2E
Therefore cr 2
Leff
r
Or

Leff
cr 2 where Slendernes s ratio
r
where:
Aeff is the effective cross sectional area from 3.6
Ag is the gross sectional Area (see 3.4.1)
pc is the compressive Strength (see 4.7.5)
pcs is the value of pc for a reduced slenderness of
(Aeff/Ag)0.5 in which is based on the radius of
gyration r of the gross section.

Where m is the ratio LE / r of a whole
member about that axis
c is as defined above
Example:
Double Angle Connections
1. As tension member
pc = 225.2 N/mm2
