Question

A steel column of rectangular section (15 mm x 10 mm)  and length 1.5 m is simply supported at both ends. Assuming modulus of elasticity, E 200 GPa for steel, the critical axial load (in kN) is _______ (correct to two decimal places)

Show Answer

Answer :

1.10

Buckling load = π²EImin / L² = π*200*10³*(15*10³/12) /1500² =  1096.62

                            = 1.097 kN
