Solution of Chapter 19
Stress in Columns
Problem 19.1
A 12 ft long steel column is fixed supported at both ends with no side sway. The cross-section of
the column is 8 in. by 6 in. Calculate the critical buckling load of the column. Steel has a modulus
of elasticity of 29,000 ksi.
Solution:
Modulus of elasticity, E = 29,000 ksi
Length of column, L = 12 ft
Effective length factor, K = 0.5 [both ends fixed with no side sway]

, Problem 19.2
A 20 ft long steel column in a braced frame is fixed at one end and pinned at other end with no
side sway. The column has the outer diameter of 7 inch and inner diameter of 6 inch. Calculate the
critical buckling load of the column. Steel has a modulus of elasticity of 29,000 ksi.
Solution:
Modulus of elasticity, E = 29,000 ksi
Length of column, L = 20 ft
Effective length factor, K = 0.70 [fixed at one end and pinned at other without sway]
