To apply the Euler Equation, the value of L should be the distance between points of inflection or point of zero
moment.
Problems: Analysis and Design of Axially Loaded Column (Euler Formula)

1. Determine the Euler blocking load for axially loaded W14 x 22. The column has pinned ends. Assume A36 steel with a proportional limit of 34
ksi. The column length is 12 ft.

2. A W 10 x 49 column of A36 has end conditions that approximate the fixed-pinned condition (K = 0.8). Assume a proportional limit of 34 ksi.

A. If the length of column is 26 ft, find the allowable compressive load capacity Pa f F.S. = 2.0
B. What is the minimum length of column at which the Euler’s formula is still valid?

3. Use Euler’s Formula to select a W shape column to support an axial load of 50 kips. The length is 2 ft ends are pinned. Use A36 steel with a
proportional limit to be 34 ksi.

4. Determine the Euler Stress and critical load for the pin-connected column shown if it is 10m long E = 200Gpa (Fe = 325.19 Mpa ; Pe =
2307.55 kN )

4.5 ASDS ALLOWABLE STRESSES FOR COMPRESSION MEMBERS

Euler formula was used to analyze and design column where fe is always checked to be less than the proportional limit (I.e.
columns are all slender/long column). Practical columns however do not fall into this category. The practical analysis /
design method must concern itself with possible range of slenderness ration Kl/r. Theoretical formulas are not applicable for
intermediate and short columns because of many material and geometric uncertainties. The strength of intermediate and
short column cannot be predicted theoretically; therefore, the results or extensive testing and experienced must be utilized.

• Notes :
1. Maximum Kl/r = 200 (compression members)
2. Allowable compressive stress on gross section is denoted by Fa
` 3. The value of Kl/r which separates elastic buckling from inelastic buckling is obtained by taking fe= Fy/2. This Kl/r = Cc

Let fe = Fy/2 ; Kl/r = Cc


• ASDS Allowable Compression Stress Formula

Case 1. Kl/r ˂ Cc

Case 2. Kl/r ≥ Cc

a. Determine the safe axial load if both ends are hinged
b. Determine the safe axial load if both ends are fixed (K=0.65)
c. Determine the safe axial load if both ends are fixed and braced at mid-height

2. A secondary compression member has an effective length of 7.2m wit ha cross-sectional area of 0.0084m2 and a
moment of inertia along its weaker axis of 0.000024 mm4, If an A36 steel is use with Fy= 250 Mpa; E = 200Gpa,
Determine the safe axial compressive load.

3. A compression member 3m long consists of two angles 150x100x10mm with long legs back and strutting 10mm gusset
plates at each end. Fy = 230 Mpa; E = 200Gpa.
