Compression Member

Compression Member Design Tool Compression Member Design Tool Column Length (m): Column Diameter (mm): Modulus of Elasticity (GPa): Yield Strength (MPa): Calculate Compression Member Design Example Compression Member Design Example Consider a steel column that is 3.048 m long with a circular cross-section of 60 mm diameter. The modulus of elasticity of the steel is 200 GPa, and the yield strength is 250 MPa. Determine the safe axial load that the column can support based on the Indian code IS 800:2007. Solution The cross-sectional area of the column is: A = (π/4) x D^2 = (π/4) x (60 mm)^2 = 2827.43 mm^2 The slenderness ratio of the column is: λ = KL/r = 1 x 3.048 m / 30 mm = 101.6 The critical stress of the column is: σcr = (π^2 x E) / (λ^2 x fy) ...
