    This document summarizes a buckling analysis of a simply supported cruciform column subjected to an axial load. The column was modeled using beam elements divided into 10 and 20 segments and plate elements divided into 80 segments. The buckling loads from the models were compared to the analytical solution. All models were in good agreement with the analytical buckling load of 458.086 kN, with the plate element model having the closest result at 2.86% difference.

    Title
    Lateral buckling of a simply supported cruciform column subjected to a concentric axial load

    Description
    A simply supported cruciform column consisted of narrow rectangular fins undergoes a vertical load P applied at the centroid of the top end. The buckling loads are determined for the three cases in which the column is divided into 10 and 20 beam elements and 80 plate elements. The computed buckling loads are then compared with the analytical exact solution. Case 1: 10 Beam elements evenly divided vertically Case 2: 20 Beam elements evenly divided vertically Case 3: 80 Plate elements evenly divided into 20 segments vertically

    From the theory of elastic stability (Timoshenko and Gere [1]), the analytical solution for the tip cirtical load P cr is defined by the following expression:

    Pcr =

    GI xx A I A E = xx I y + I z I y + I z 2(1 + )

    where, E = Youngs modulus of elasticity G = shear modulus of elasticity = poissons ratio

    I y = moment of inertia about local y-axis


    I z = moment of inertia about local z-axis

    I xx = torsional moment of inertia


    Substituting the material and sectional properties into the above equation gives the following result:

    Pcr =

    I xx A E 4.339636 104 3.564 103 200 = 7 I y + I z 2(1 + ) 2 1.350529 10 2(1 + 0.25)

    = 458.086 kN
