Procedure for Analysis1. calculate KL/r

• biggest of KL/r with respect to x axes and y axis

2. find Fa from Table 10.1 or 10.2• pp. 361 - 364

3. compute Pallowable = Fa⋅A• or find factual = P/A

4. is P ≤ Pallowable? (or is factual ≤ Fa?)• yes: ok• no: overstressed and no good

Procedure for Design (cont’d)5. is P ≤ Pallowable? (or is factual ≤ Fa?)

• yes: ok• no: pick a bigger section and go back to step

6. check design efficiency

• percentage of stress =

• if between 90-100%: good• if < 90%: pick a smaller section and go back

to step 2.
