Design buckling resistance of a compression member To determine the design column buckling resistance Nb,Rd, the reduction factor for the relevant buckling curve must be defined. This factor is determined by calculation of the non-dimensional slenderness based on the elastic critical force for the relevant buckling mode and the cross sectional resistance to normal forces. Elastic critical force Ncr The critical buckling force is calculated as follows :
