The steel column 500 x 50 x 5 mm will be designed as column supported at bottom & free at top
end. All other supports to column will be neglected in calculations as a safe side.

In-plane buckling
From Table 23, for buckling about x-x axis and y-y axis use, respectively, Table 24(a) of BS 5950 from
which 𝜌𝑐𝑥 = 75 𝑁/𝑚𝑚2 , and Table 24(c) of BS 5950 from which 𝜌𝑐𝑦 = 26 𝑁/𝑚𝑚2 . Then
Ratio of end moments about x-x and y-y axis, β = 0 , Hence from Table 26 , mx = my = 0.6
