Compression Members
Compression members
Structural Members subjected to axial
compression/compressive forces
Design governed by strength and buckling
Columns are subjected to axial loads through the
centroid.
The stress in the column cross-section can be
calculated as
where, f is assumed to be uniform over the
entire cross-section

Local Buckling
• Excessive compression of long columns may
cause yielding or buckling.
• It can fail due to yielding if it absolutely straight,
has perfectly homogeneous material, concentric
loads.
• This ideal state is never reached. The
stress-state will be non-uniform due to:
• Accidental eccentricity of loading with
respect to the centroid
• Member out-of–straightness (crookedness), or
• Residual stresses in the member cross-
section due to fabrication processes
In addition to most common type of compression
members (vertical Members in structure),
compression may include in the
 Arch ribs
 Rigid frame members inclined or otherwise
 Compression elements in trusses

Elastic buckling of slender
compression members
Slender columns have low crippling load carrying
capacity.(The crippling load, or more frequently
called Buckling load, is the load over which a
column prefers to deform laterally rather than
compressing itself)
Consider one such column having length ‘L’ and
uniform cross section A hinged at both ends A
and B. Let P be the crippling load at which the
column has just buckled.
The longer the column, for the same cross section
area, the greater becomes its tendency to buckle
and smaller becomes its load carrying capacity.
The tendency of column to buckle is usually
measured by its slenderness ratio
Compression Members Vs
Tension Members
18
Effect of material Imperfections and Flaws
Slight imperfections in tension members are can
be safely disregarded as they are of little
consequence.
On the other hand slight defects in columns are
of great significance.
A column that is slightly bent at the time it is put
in place may have significant bending resulting
from the load and initial lateral deflection.
Compression Members Vs
Tension Members
19
Tension in members causes lengthening of
members.
Compression beside compression forces
causes buckling of member.
Compression Members Vs
Tension Members
20
Presence of holes in bolted connection
reduce Gross area in tension members.
Presence of bolts also contribute in taking
load An = Ag as per Cl- 7.3.2 IS:800-
2007.
WHY column more critical than
tension member?
A column is more critical than a beam
or tension member because minor
imperfections in materials and
dimensions mean a great deal.
21
WHY column more critical than
tension member?
The bending of tension members
probably will not be serious as the
tensile loads tends to straighten those
members, but bending of compression
members is serious because
compressive loads will tend to magnify
the bending in those members.
22
Compression Member Failure
There are three basic types of column failures.
One, a compressive material failure( very short
and fat).
Two, a buckling failure,(very long and slender).
Three, a combination of both compressive and
buckling failures.(length and width of a column is
in between a short and medium and long and
slender column).
23
Compression Member Failure
Flexural Buckling (also called Euler Buckling)
is the primary type of buckling.members
are subjected to bending or flexure when
they become unstable
24
Compression Member Failure
Local Buckling This occurs when some
part or parts of cross section of a column
are so thin that they buckle locally in
compression before other modes of
buckling can occur
25
Compression Member Failure
Torsional Buckling These columns fail by
twisting(torsion) or combined effect of
torsional and flexural buckling.
26
Sections used for Compression Member
In theory numerous shapes can be used
for columns to resist given loads.
However, from practical point of view,
the number of possible solutions is
severely limited by section availability,
connection problems, and type of
structure in which the section is to be
used.

Column Buckling
Buckling is a mode of failure generally
resulting from structural instability due
to compressive action on the structural
member or element involved.
Examples of commonly seen and used
tools are provided.

Example (b,c,d) are examples of plastic

38
Compression member Buckling
Buckling occurs when a straight, homogeneous,
centrally loaded column subjected to axial
compression suddenly undergoes bending.
Buckling is identified as a failure limit-state for
columns.
39
Compression member Buckling
The value of P at which a straight
column becomes unstable is called the
Critical Load.
When column bends at critical load, it is
said to have buckled.
Therefore, critical load is also called the
buckling load.
40
Column buckling curves
Classification of different sections under different
buckling class a, b,c and d are given in Table 10 of IS 800:
2007 ( page 44).
The stress reduction factor χ, for different buckling class,
yield stress and effective slenderness ratio is given in table
8 ( page 37)
Table 9( page 40) shows the design compressive stress, fcd
for different buckling class a to d.
The curve corresponding to different buckling class are presented in
non-dimensional form as shown in the figure below. Using this curve
one can find the value of fcd ( design compressive stress)
corresponding to non- dimensional effective slenderness ratio λ =

IS 800: 2007 Clause 7.1.2.1
Design of compression members
Assumptions made
The column is assumed to be absolutely straight.
The modulus of elasticity is assumed to be
constant in a built- up column
Secondary stresses are neglected
Design steps
For beginners , for an average column size of 3 m -
5m height the slenderness ratio of 40 to 60 is
selected. For very long column a λ of 60 may be
assumed.
For column with very heavy factored load a
smaller value of slendernessratio should
be assumed.
Choose a trial section by assuming an
appropriate slenderness ratio from following table
Type of member slenderness ratio
Single angle 100-50
Single channel 90-110
Double angles 80-120
Double channels 40-80
Single I -Section 80-100
Double I - section 30-60
Select a trial section by referring the table above
and from steel tables
Calculate KL/r for the section selected. The
calculated value of slenderness ratio should be
within the max limiting value given by IS 800-
2007 (Table- 3, page 20)
•Calculate fcd and the
design strength Pd = A. fcd
•For the estimated value of
slenderness ratio, calculate
the design compressive
stress (fcd) , by any method
i.e. using buckling curve or
by using equations given by
IS 800: 2007 (refer Cl.
7.1.2)
•The design strength of
member is calculated as
•Pd = fcd x effective cross-
sectional area
•The value Pd should be
more than the factored load
Pu for safe design

Slenderness Ratios

The stress reduction factor χ, for different buckling class, yield stress and effective slenderness ratio is given in table 8 ( page 37) Table 9( page 40) shows the design compressive stress, fcd for different buckling class a to d.
  • 42. The curve corresponding to different buckling class are presented in non-dimensional form as shown in the figure below. Using this curve one can find the value of fcd ( design compressive stress) corresponding to non- dimensional effective slenderness ratio λ = √ 𝑓𝑦 𝑓𝑐𝑐 ( page 35 of IS800: 2007)

  • 47. Design of compression members Assumptions made The column is assumed to be absolutely straight. The modulus of elasticity is assumed to be constant in a built- up column Secondary stresses are neglected
  • 48. Design steps For beginners , for an average column size of 3 m - 5m height the slenderness ratio of 40 to 60 is selected. For very long column a λ of 60 may be assumed. For column with very heavy factored load a smaller value of slendernessratio should be assumed. Choose a trial section by assuming an appropriate slenderness ratio from following table

  • 50. Select a trial section by referring the table above and from steel tables Calculate KL/r for the section selected. The calculated value of slenderness ratio should be within the max limiting value given by IS 800- 2007 (Table- 3, page 20)
