Steel Column Analysis Design Program
Steel Column Analysis Design Program
NOTE 1 :
THIS PROGRAM CAN ANALYSE AND DESIGN A COLUMN AGAINST BUCKLING IN 3D BY SUPERPOSITIONSelect the orientation of th
IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO ANLYSE AND DESING THE COLUMN IN 2D BY MAKING THE
LENGTHS OF THE RELATED MEMBERS 0 (ZERO) IN OTHER PLANE.
NOTE 2 :
IN ORDER TO ADD NEW CROSS-SECTIONAL PROPERTIES (e.g. ANGEL , I OR RECTANGULAR SECTIONS)
ONLY MODIFY THE NAME AND THE GEOMETRICAL PROPERTIES OF AN EXISTING CROSS-SECTION.
THE NEW CROSS-SECTIONAL PROPERTIES SHOULD OBEY THE AREAL INCREASING SEQUENCE AS IN THE SECTIONS TABLE
If there is no column connected to the any end of the column, which will be designed or anlysed, input 0 (zero
of the corresponding column.

If the column was in pure tension the required minimum area woulb be = N / 2.4 = 600 / 2.4 =
Since the column is in compression, it will buckle before the stresses reach to the yield strength of the steel.
Therefore the required cross-sectional area is larger than 250.00 cm2
