Buckling Example

This document provides an example of verifying the buckling resistance of a compression member. It assesses the suitability of a 244.5 x 10 circular hollow section (CHS) steel column subject to an axial force of 1630 kN. It determines the section properties, calculates the axial and buckling resistances, and compares the results to the design values. The chosen cross-section is found to have sufficient resistance for the applied loading.

Steel Design Verification Examples

3.3 Buckling resistance of a compression member


A circular hollow section (CHS) member is to be used as an internal column
in a multi-storey building. The column has pinned boundary conditions at
each end, and the inter-storey height is 4m, as shown in the right figure.
The critical combination of actions results in a design axial force of 1630 KN.
Assess the suitability of a hot-rolled 244.5 x 10 CHS in grade S275 steel for
this application.
