  2. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Fig. 2: Column effective length factors for Euler's critical load. In practical design, it is recommended to increase the factors as shown above. The following assumptions are made while deriving Euler's formula: [3] The material of the column is homogeneous and isotropic. The compressive load on the column is axial only.

  3. Southwell plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwell_plot

    [3] Schematic representation of an elastic column that displays “classical” flexural buckling under axial load P. The lateral displacement u is measured (relative to the initial, possibly crooked, configuration) near a place where the modal displacement is maximum.

  4. Buckling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckling

    A load at any other point in the cross section is known as an eccentric load. A short column under the action of an axial load will fail by direct compression before it buckles, but a long column loaded in the same manner will fail by springing suddenly outward laterally (buckling) in a bending mode.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering

    The capacity of a column to carry axial load depends on the degree of bending it is subjected to, and vice versa. ... Section 1.3 Historical Overview of Structural ...

  6. Column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Column

    Table showing values of K for structural columns of various end conditions (adapted from Manual of Steel Construction, 8th edition, American Institute of Steel Construction, Table C1.8.1) As the axial load on a perfectly straight slender column with elastic material properties is increased in magnitude, this ideal column passes through three ...

  7. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    A column under a centric axial load exhibiting the characteristic deformation of buckling. When subjected to compressive forces it is possible for structural elements to deform significantly due to the destabilising effect of that load. The effect can be initiated or exacerbated by possible inaccuracies in manufacture or construction.

  8. Axial loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_loading

    Axial loading is defined as applying a force on a structure directly along a given axis of said structure. [1] In the medical field, the term refers to the application of weight or force along the course of the long axis of the body. [2] The application of an axial load on the human spine can result in vertebral compression fractures. [3]

  9. Compression member - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_member

    Columns at the Airavatesvara Temple, India A compression member is a structural element that primarily resists forces, which act to shorten or compress the member along its length. Commonly found in engineering and architectural structures, such as columns , struts , and braces, compression members are designed to withstand loads that push or ...
