Columns Question 1:
Buckling load of given material depends on
i. Slenderness ratio
ii. Area of cross
iii. Modulus of elasticity
iv. Poisson’s ratio
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 1 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The buckling load of a given material depends on Slenderness ratio, Area of a cross-section, and Modulus of elasticity.
Buckling load:
Analysis of long column is done using Euler’s formula:
Elastic Critical stress (fcr)
\({{\rm{f}}_{{\rm{cr}}}}{\rm{\;}} = {\rm{\;}}\frac{{{{\rm{\pi }}^2}{\rm{E}}}}{{{{\rm{\lambda }}^2}}}\)
where E = Modulus of elasticity of the material, and λ = slenderness Ratio
\({\rm{\lambda \;}} = {\rm{\;}}\frac{{{\rm{l}}{{\rm{e}}_{{\rm{ff}}}}}}{{{{\rm{r}}_{{\rm{min}}}}}}\) & Imin = A × rmin2
where rmin = Minimum radius of gyration of the section, Imin = Minor principle Moment of Inertia, A = Cross-sectional Area, and Leff = It depends on the end conditions of the column section.
Eulers Load is given as
\({\rm{P\;}} = {\rm{\;}}\frac{{{{\rm{\pi }}^2}{\rm{E}}}}{{{\rm{l}}_{{\rm{eff}}}^2}}{\rm{r}}_{{\rm{min}}}^2 \times {\rm{A\;}} = {\rm{\;}}\frac{{{{\rm{\pi }}^2}{\rm{E\;Imin}}}}{{{\rm{l}}_{{\rm{eff}}}^2}}\)
Thus by Euler’s load formula,
\({\rm{Load\;}} \propto {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{I}}_{{\rm{min}}}}{\rm{\;and\;Load}} \propto \frac{1}{{{{\left( {{{\rm{l}}_{{\rm{eff}}}}} \right)}^2}}}\)
The load at which column buckle is termed as buckling load. Buckling load is given by:
\({P_b} = \frac{{{\pi ^2}E{I_{}}}}{{L_e^2}}\)
where E = Young’s modulus of elasticity, Imin = Minimum moment of inertia, and Le = Effective length

Buckling load |
Both ends hinged |
Le = L |
\({P_b} = \frac{{{\pi ^2}E{I_{}}}}{{L^2}}\) |
Both ends fixed |
\({L_e} = \frac{L}{2}\) |
\({P_b} = \frac{{{4\pi ^2}E{I_{}}}}{{L^2}}\) |
One end fixed and another end is free |
Le = 2L |
\({P_b} = \frac{{{\pi ^2}E{I_{}}}}{{4L^2}}\) |
One end fixed and another end is hinged |
\({L_e} = \frac{L}{{\sqrt 2 }}\) |
\({P_b} = \frac{{{2\pi ^2}E{I_{}}}}{{L^2}}\) |
We know that MOI for a circular section is \(I = \frac{\pi d^4}{64}\)
Columns Question 2:
The Euler’s crippling load for a column whose one end is fixed and other free is 60 kN. If one end is made fixed and other hinged, then the crippling load will
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
End Condition |
Both end hinged |
One end fixed other free |
Both end fixed |
One end fixed and other hinged |
Effective length (Le) |
L |
2L |
L/2 |
\(\frac{L}{{\sqrt 2 }}\) |
Crippling load:
\(P = \frac{{{\pi ^2}EI}}{{L_e^2}}\)
Calculation:
\({P_c} = \frac{{{\pi ^2}EI}}{{L_e^2}}\), where Le = effective length of the column.
For one end fixed and one end free Le = 2L:
Crippling load:
\(P_{Initial} = \frac{{{\pi ^2}EI}}{{4L^2}}=60\;kN \\ \therefore \frac{{{\pi ^2}EI}}{{L^2}}=240\;kN\)
For one end fixed and one end free Le = \(\frac{L}{{\sqrt 2 }}\):
Crippling load:
\(P_{Final} = \frac{{{2\pi ^2}EI}}{{L^2}}= 2\times240=480~ kN\)
\(P_{Final} =8\times P_{Initial}\)
Columns Question 3:
While applying Euler’s theory of columns to calculate the crippling load, equivalent calculations are made by referencing ______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 3 Detailed Solution
According to Euler's column theory, the crippling load for a column of length L,
from\({P_{cr}}= \;\frac{{{\pi ^2}EI}}{{{{\left( {L_e} \right)}^2}}}\)
Where Leq is the effective length of the column.
Support Condition |
Effective Length |
Both ends hinged |
\({L_e} = L\) |
Both ends fixed |
\({L_e} = \frac{L}{2}\) |
One end fixed other end free | \({L_e} = 2L\) |
One end fixed other end hinged | \({L_e} = \frac{L}{\sqrt{2}}\) |
∴ From the above conditions mentioned we can clearly see that while applying Euler’s theory of columns to calculate the crippling load, equivalent calculations are made by referencing column with both ends hinged
Columns Question 4:

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 4 Detailed Solution
Columns Question 5:
Effect of both bucking and crushing is considered in:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The Rankine formula is valid for both short and long columns. Hence failure by, both crushing and buckling should be considered.
If P = Failure load
- PC = Crushing load = σC A
- PE = Buckling load = \( = \frac{{{\pi ^2}E}}{{{l^2}}}\)
\(P = \frac{{{\sigma _C}A}}{{1 + \propto {\lambda ^2}}}\)
where ∝ = Rankine constant = \( = \frac{{{\sigma _c}}}{{{\pi ^2}E}}\), λ = Slenderness ratio,
σC = Crushing stress, A = cross-sectional area
Additional Information Rankine’s constant for the type of materials are:
Material |
∝ |
Wrought iron |
1 in 9000 |
Cast iron |
1 in 1600 |
Mild steel |
1 in 7500 |
Strong Timber |
1 in 750 |
Columns Question 6:
The radius of gyration of rectangular section (depth D, width B) from a centroidal axis parallel to the width is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
A radius of gyration is given by:
\(r = \sqrt {\frac{I}{A}} \)
I = Moment of inertia about C.G
A = Area of the x-section
\(I = \frac{{B{D^3}}}{{12}}\)
A = BD
\(r = \sqrt {\frac{{B{D^3}}}{{12 \times BD}}}\)
\(r = \frac{D}{{2\sqrt 3 }}\)
Columns Question 7:
Short columns fail in ______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 7 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Short Column:
Short columns are those whose slenderness ratio is less than 32 or length to diameter ratio is less than 8. Such columns are always subjected to direct compressive stress only.
Long Column:
Long columns have a slenderness ratio of more than 120 or a length to diameter ratio of more than 30.
Modes of failure of the column:
- In the case of short columns, the failure occurs by crushing the material under the compression yield stress.
- In the case of a long column, the failure occurs by buckling. i.e By lateral deflection of the bar
- The intermediate column fails in combined Buckling and Crushing.
Note:
Euler's theory is only applicable for long column
Rankine theory considers combining crushing and buckling modes of failure.
Columns Question 8:
What is the change (%) in Euler’s buckling load, if the diameter of the column is reduced by 10%?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Crippling load for the column:
\(\rm{\begin{array}{l} P = \frac{{{\pi ^2}EI}}{{L_e^2}} \Rightarrow P \propto I \propto {d^4}\\\end{array}}\)
Calculation:
Given:
d2 = 0.9d1
\(\rm{ \frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}} = \frac{{d_2^4}}{{d_1^4}} = {\left( {\frac{{{d_2}}}{{{d_1}}}} \right)^4} = {\left( {\frac{{0.9d}}{d}} \right)^4} =0.6561}\)
\({P_2} = 0.6561\;{P_1}\)
∴ Percentage reduction is (P1 - P2) /P1 = 34.39 %.Columns Question 9:
The core of a circular section short column of diameter d is a concentric circular area having a diameter ______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The diameter of the core of a circular short column is d/4.
The core of a solid circular section:-
\(\begin{array}{l} {\sigma _{min}} = 0 = \frac{P}{A} + \frac{{{M_x}}}{{{I_x}}}\left( { - y} \right)\\ O = \frac{P}{{\frac{\pi }{4}{d^2}}} + \frac{{{P_e}}}{{\frac{\pi }{{64}}{d^4}}}\left( { - \frac{d}{2}} \right)\\ {e_y} = \frac{d}{8} \end{array}\)
I.e. for a maximum eccentricity of d/8, there will be no tensile stress in the section
∴ So the diameter of the core will be \(= \frac{d}{8} + \frac{d}{8}\)
\(= \frac{d}{4}\)
Columns Question 10:
The equivalent length of a column of length L having one end fixed and the other end free is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 10 Detailed Solution
Effective length of columns under different end conditions are:
1. For both ends hinged: Le = L
2. One end fixed and another end free: Le = 2L
3. Both ends fixed = \({L_e} = \frac{L}{2}\)
4. One end fixed and other is hinges: \({L_e} = \frac{L}{{\sqrt 2 }}\)
