Concept:

  • Euler’s formula gives correct results only for very long columns.
  • For short or long columns Rankine’s Formula is used.
  • Load columns can be analysed with the Euler’s column formulas can be given as
  • \(P = \frac{{{n^2}{\pi ^2}EI}}{{{L^2}}}\)
  • For both end hinged, n = 1
  • \(P = \frac{{{\pi ^2}EI}}{{{L^2}}}\)
  • For one end fixed and other free, n = 1/2
  • For both ends fixed, n = 2
  • For one end fixed and other hinged, n = √2
  • Effective length:
  • \(L_{eq}=\frac{L}{n}\)
