Chapter 5 Concentrically loaded columns and struts
5.1 Slenderness ratio, radius of gyration and effective length
In a similar way to beams, the maximum concentric load that a column can support depends on the material from which the column is manufactured and the slenderness of the column. The slenderness of a column is determined by considering column height, size and shape of cross-section. As you will see later, a measure of the shape of ...
