3.8 Design of Compression Members


Here the applied load, the effective length, and the steel type are given. It is
required to select the most suitable section which is the safe and economical
𝐹𝑐𝑟
section. Since the section is unknown the allowable stress for (ASD method) or
𝛺𝑐

critical stress ∅ 𝐹𝑐𝑟 for (LRFD method) are also unknown.

Design Steps
1. Calculate the axial compression load or the required axial strength,

𝑷𝒖 = 𝟏. 𝟐 𝑷𝒅 + 𝟏. 𝟔 𝑷𝑳 (𝑳𝑹𝑭𝑫)

𝑷𝒂 = 𝑷𝒅 + 𝑷𝑳 (𝑨𝑺𝑫)

2. Assuming an initial value for the critical stress 𝑭𝒄𝒓, (say for example: 𝑭𝒄𝒓 =
𝟎. 𝟖𝑭𝒚).
3. Determine the required gross area, 𝑨𝒈 ., which should be:
𝒓𝒆𝒒

𝑷𝒖 𝑷𝒂
𝑨𝒈 ≥ (𝑳𝑹𝑭𝑫), 𝑨𝒈 ≥ (𝑨𝑺𝑫)
𝒓𝒆𝒒 ∅ 𝑭𝒄𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒒 𝑭𝒄𝒓⁄𝜴𝒄

4. Select a section from Part 1 of the AISC with 𝑨𝒈 ≥ 𝑨𝒈 .


𝒓𝒆𝒒

5. For the new selected section compute the actual stress (𝒇 = 𝑷⁄𝑨𝒈) and the
maximum slenderness ratio. Check that 𝑲𝑳⁄𝒓 ≤ 𝟐𝟎𝟎.
6. Compute the critical stress 𝑭𝒄𝒓 based on the new slenderness ratio.
7. Compare the actual stress 𝒇 with the critical stress (∅ 𝑭𝒄𝒓 𝑜𝑟 𝑭𝒄𝒓⁄𝜴𝒄).
 Either (∅ 𝑭𝒄𝒓 𝑜𝑟 𝑭𝒄𝒓⁄𝜴𝒄) < 𝒇 (the section is not safe) go to the step 8.
 Or (∅ 𝑭𝒄𝒓 𝑜𝑟 𝑭𝒄𝒓⁄𝜴𝒄) > 𝒇 (the section is safe, may be not economic).
8. Use 𝑭𝒄𝒓, obtained in step 6, to repeat steps 3.
