Determine the Euler bucking load for a HSS6 x 4 x 1/4 structural steel column that is 15 ft long.

Determine the effective length of the following column where L = 16 ft.

Determine the effective length of the following column where L = 12 ft. One end is fixed. The other end is free to rotate and translate.

The critical buckling load is sometimes called the _______ load.

The ratios bf/2tf and h/tw are called _______ and denoted by the Greek letter ___.

What is L/r?

A W16 x 50 column is made from ASTM A36 steel and has a length of 36 ft. The column is only supported at its ends. Both ends are pinned. Determine the elastic buckling stress, Fe, for this column.

A W18 x 35 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 42 steel and has a length of 31 ft. The column is only supported at its ends. Both ends are pinned. Determine the elastic buckling stress, Fe, for this column.

Can a W14 x 53 column with an effective length of 6 feet support a dead load of 80 kips and a live load of 80 kips? Use LRFD.

A W18 x 35 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 60 steel and has a length of 15 ft. Both ends are pinned. Determine the effective slenderness ratio.
