Design of Columns
Design of Columns
Column- a member loaded in compression such that either its length or eccentric loading causes it to experience more than pure compression
Can be classified as
a. Long columns
b. Short Columns
Design of Columns
Long columns- fail due to structurally(buckling or elasticity failure)
Short columns- fail to materially (yielding failure)
When P reaches critical load, column becomes unstable and bending develops rapidly
Critical load depends on end conditions

Design of Columns
Develop a specific Eulerβs and J.B. Johnsonβs Eqautions for the sizes of columns having
a) Round cross sections, diameter d is required
b) Rectangular cross section, h<b, base b is required
Design of Columns
Specify the diameter of a round column 1.5m long that is to carry a maximum load estimated to be 22kN. Use a design factor of 4 and consider the ends as pinned rounded. The column material selected has a minimum yiled strength of 500 Mpa at a modulus of elasticity of 207 Gpa.
Design of Columns
A round steel rod made of structural steel,with yield strength of 48ksi and E=30Mpsi, is to be used as a column, centrally loaded with 10 kips; N = 3 . Determine the diameter for L = 25 in.
Design of Columns
The column above is subjected to an axial compressive load of 15 kips. Made of AISI C1030, as rolled(Sy=51 ksi and E=30Mpsi), it has sectional length of 20 in. Assume a loose fit with the pins. What is
a. the critical load for this column
b. the design factor
c. the equivalent stress under a load of 15 kips
d. Maximum stress for the foregoing load, when eccentricity ratio=0.25 and eccentricity is Le/400
