Column Buckling
What is buckling?
Buckling occurs when a straight column subjected
to axial compression suddenly undergoes bending
as shown in the Figure 1(b). Buckling is identified
as a failure limit-state for columns.

The unsupported length for buckling about the minor (y) axis = L y =
6 m.
Effective length for major (x) axis buckling = Kx Lx = 0.8 x 6 = 4.8 m.
Effective length for minor (y) axis buckling = Ky Ly = 1.0 x 6 = 6 m.

Eq. (3.1) is valid only when the material everywhere in the crosssection is in the elastic region. If the material goes inelastic then
Eq. (3.1) becomes useless and cannot be used.
What happens in the inelastic range?
Several other problems appear in the inelastic range.
All of these are very advanced concepts and beyond the scope of this
course.

Slide # 21
Elastic buckling assumes the material to follow Hookes law and thus
assumes stresses below elastic (proportional) limit.
If the stress in the column reaches the proportional limit then Eulers
assumptions are violated.

The AISC
specifications for
column strength
assume that column
buckling is the
governing limit state.
However, if the
column section is
made of thin (slender)
plate elements, then
failure can occur due
to local buckling of the
flanges or the webs.

If the slenderness ratio (b/t) of the plate element is less than r but
greater than p, then it is non-compact. It will locally buckle
immediately after reaching Fy
If the slenderness ratio (b/t) of the plate element is less than p, then
the element is compact. It will locally buckle much after reaching Fy
Slide # 33

The local buckling limit state can be prevented from controlling the
column strength by using sections that are compact and non-compact.

If the column is part of a braced frame then its effective length factor 0
<K1
If the column is part of an unbraced frame then 1 < K
Then, you have to determine the relative rigidity factor G for both
ends of the column
K for the
column using the calculated value of G at both ends, i.e., G A and
GB and the appropriate alignment chart

Step I. Identify the frame type and calculate Lx, Ly, Kx, and Ky if
possible.
It is an unbraced (sidesway uninhibited) frame.
Lx = Ly = 3.6 m
Ky = 1.0
Kx depends on boundary conditions, which involve restraints due to
beams and columns connected to the ends of column AB.
Need to calculate Kx using alignment charts.
