CE 405: DESIGN of steel Structures Prof. Dr. A. Varma CHAPTER 3. COMPRESSION MEMBER DESIGN INTRODUCTORY CONCEPTS COMPRESSION Members: Structural elements that are subjected to axial compressive forces only are called columns. Columns are subjected to axial loads thru the centroid. Stress: The stress in the column cross-section can be calculated as AP=f ( ) where, f is assumed to be uniform over the entire cross-section. This ideal state is never reached. The stress-state will be non-uniform due to: - Accidental eccentricity of loading with respect to the centroid - MEMBER out-of straightness (crookedness), or - Residual stresses in the MEMBER cross-section due to fabrication processes. Accidental eccentricity and MEMBER out-of-straightness can cause bending moments in the MEMBER .
- Table 3-36 on page 16.1-143 shows KL/r vs. φcFcr for steels with Fy = 36 ksi. - You can calculate KL/r for the column, then read the value of φcFcr from this table - The column strength will be equal to φcFcr x Ag - Table 3-50 on page 16.1-145 shows KL/r vs. φcFcr for steels with Fy = …
