The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally. The critical load puts the column in a state of unstable equilibrium. A load beyond the critical load causes the column to fail by buckling. As the load is increased beyond the ...
The elasticity of the material of the column and not the compressive strength of the material of the column determines the column's buckling load. The buckling load is directly proportional to the second moment of area of the cross section. The boundary conditions have a considerable effect on the critical load of slender columns.
Initially created for stability problems in column buckling, the Southwell method has also been used to determine critical loads in frame and plate buckling experiments. The method is particularly useful for field tests of structures that are likely to be damaged by applying loads near the critical load and beyond, such as reinforced concrete ...
The slenderness ratio is an indicator of the specimen's resistance to bending and buckling, due to its length and cross section. If the slenderness ratio is less than the critical slenderness ratio, the column is considered to be a short column. In these cases, the Johnson parabola is more applicable than the Euler formula.

A column can buckle due to its own weight with no other direct forces acting on it, in a failure mode called self-buckling. In conventional column buckling problems, the self-weight is often neglected since it is assumed to be small when compared to the applied axial loads. However, when the weight of the column is significant compared to its ...
It can also be used for finding buckling loads and post-buckling behaviour for columns. Consider the case whereby we want to find the resonant frequency of oscillation of a system. First, write the oscillation in the form, y ( x , t ) = Y ( x ) cos ω t {\displaystyle y(x,t)=Y(x)\cos \omega t} with an unknown mode shape Y ( x ...
The Perry–Robertson formula is a mathematical formula which is able to produce a good approximation of buckling loads in long slender columns or struts, and is the basis for the buckling formulation adopted in EN 1993. The formula in question can be expressed in the following form:
The Wood method, also known as the Merchant–Rankine–Wood method, is a structural analysis method which was developed to determine estimates for the effective buckling length of a compressed member included in a building frames, both in sway and a non-sway buckling modes. [1] [2] It is named after R. H. Wood.
