Introduction to Axially Loaded Compression Members

Compression Members
ColumnsChords of Trusses Bracing Members
Columns are straight vertical members whose lengths are considerably greater than their thicknesses

Residual Stresses
The stresses that remain in a material after the original cause of the stresses, such as external forces, heat gradient, has been removed.
• Caused by :• Uneven cooling of hot rolled sections• Uneven cooling welded materials• Cambering
• Affect strength• Could be 10 to 15 ksi or more

Column Failure Modes
Flexural Buckling(Euler buckling)
Local Buckling Torsional Buckling

Euler Buckling depends on
Length, L
Material, E
Cross section, A or I or r
End support condition
• Columns are Long and slender members subjected to an axial compressive force.
• Buckling is Lateral deflection of columns
• Buckling result in instability of columns, and causes sudden failure.
• Buckling occurs when load P > Pcr the critical load

Buckling Load of an elastic column is calculated using Euler Formula
Dividing both sides by cross sectional area A
And since the radius of gyration
Euler Buckling Stress is the defined as

The strength of long columns is predicted by Euler formula (elastic buckling control)
For short columns , the failure stress will equal the yield stress.
For intermediate columns , the member will fail by both yielding and buckling.
