The document calculates the load bearing capacity of a column that is part of an ISRO paint booth project. It is 8000mm long with cross section dimensions of 132x132x4.8mm. Given the material properties and dimensions, the critical buckling load is calculated to be 4.89 tons. The allowable compressive stress is then determined to be 12.05MPa. Using this value, the maximum load bearing capacity is calculated to be 2.87 tons, demonstrating that the column can safely support the required 1 ton load.
