critical load

Two steel columns $$P$$ (Length $$L$$ and yield strength $${f_y} = 250\,\,MPa)$$ and $$Q$$ (length $$2L$$ and yield strength $${f_y} = 500\,\,MPa$$) have the same cross-sections an...

The ratio of the theoretical critical buckling load for a column with fixed ends to that of another column with the same dimensions and material, but with pinned ends, is equal to

A long structural column (length $$-L$$) with both ends hinged is acted upon by an axial compressive load $$P.$$ The differential equation governing the bending of column is given...

When a column is fixed at both ends corresponding to Euler's criterion load is
