Lecture

Axially Loaded Columns: Buckling Analysis

Description

This lecture covers the analysis of axially loaded columns under compression, focusing on calculating the buckling load and resistance. It discusses different support conditions, boundary conditions, and effective lengths of columns. The instructor explains the critical stress for buckling, the Euler curve, and the reduction factors according to design codes. Through examples and problem-solving approaches, students learn to determine the minimum thickness of columns and ensure buckling resistance.
