Question

For a column that is pinned at both ends, the critical buckling load can be calculated as, Pcr = π2 E I /L^2 where E is Young's modulus, I is the moment of inertia of the cross sectional area, and L is the length of the column. If E = 200 × 109 N/m^2, I = 21 × 106 mm^4, and L = 12 ft what is the critical buckling load in kip?

Answer 1

When a slender member is subjected to an axial compressive load, it may fail by a ... Consider a column of length, L, cross-sectional Moment of Inertia, I, having Young's Modulus, E. Both ends are pinned, meaning they can freely rotate ... p2EI L2 ... scr, is the Euler Buckling Load divided by the columns cross-sectional area
