Do to their slenderness, the design strength of
steel columns is based on buckling. There are
two types of buckling: ā¦ Global
ā¦ Local
The AISC column design provisions for global
buckling are based on Euler column buckling
behavior. The Euler column assumes the
column ends are pinned (K=1). The critical
buckling load for the Euler column is: Pcr =
šĀ²šøš¼
šæĀ²
Or in terms of stress using the radius of gyration (r):
The L/r portion of the equation is called the
slenderness ratio and is a measure of a
columnās susceptibility to buckling. Youāll
notice that the slenderness ratio is squared ā
meaning that if you double the columns
length you will decrease its buckling capacity
by 4.
The slenderness ratio (L/r) should preferable
not exceed 200. The CERM outlines that the
slenderness ratio also includes a K factor
based on Table 61.1. This is critical.
K = the effective length factor from CERM
Table 61.1
L = the column length
r = radius of gyration = (I/A)1/2
For intermediate columns that fail by inelastic
buckling, the design stress is:
For long columns that fail by elastic buckling, use:
Compare the design strength, ĻPn, to the
required strength. ĻPn = 0.90FcrAg (LRFD, Eq. 61.10(b))
There are two types of concrete columns ā
tied and spiral. Tied columns have close
stirrup reinforcement at specified intervals.
The ties contain the longitudinal
reinforcement and prevent it from buckling
out of the column.
For both types of columns, there are a couple of common equations. The common capacity equation is developed from the Euler buckling load.

Problems involving tied columns involve mostly detailing requirements and not a lot of calculations.
For tie spacing use the smallest of:
ā¦ 16 x longitudinal bar diameter ā¦ 48 x tie bar diameter ā¦ smallest gross dimension of column
Use no. 3 bars if longitudinal bars are no. 10 or smaller; otherwise use no. 4
bars. The cover should be 1.5 in minimum.
Use a minimum of four longitudinal bars, one in each corner of a square
or rectangular column.
Design the axial load strength.
The 70% is the capacity reduction factor and the 80% is for eccentricity.
