3.1 Introduction

  • Compression members are structural elements that are subjected only to axial compressive forces; that is, the loads are applied along a longitudinal axis through the centroid of the member cross section, and the stress can be taken as f = P/A, where f is considered to be uniform over the entire cross section.
  • This ideal state is never achieved in reality, however, because some eccentricity of the load is inevitable. Bending will result, but it usually can be regarded as secondary. As we shall see, the AISC Specification equations for compression member strength account for this accidental eccentricity.

3.1 Introduction

  • The most common type of compression member occurring in buildings and bridges is the column, a vertical member whose primary function is to support vertical loads. In many instances, these members are also subjected to bending, and in these cases, the member is a beam–column. We cover this topic in Chapter 5.
  • Compression members are also used in trusses and as components of bracing systems. Smaller compression members not classified as columns are sometimes referred to as struts.

3.2 Column Theory

7 Consider the long, slender compression member shown in figure a. If the axial load P is slowly applied, it will ultimately become large enough to cause the member to become unstable and assume the shape indicated by the dashed line. The member is said to have buckled, and the corresponding load is called the critical buckling load.

3.2 Column Theory

8

  • If the member is shorter, as shown in figure b, a larger load will be required to bring the member to the point of instability. For extremely short members, failure may occur by compressive yielding rather than buckling.
  • Prior to failure, the compressive stress P/A will be uniform over the cross section at any point along the length, whether the failure is by yielding or by buckling. The load at which buckling occurs is a function of slenderness, and for very slender members this load could be quite small.

3.4 Local Stability

  • The strength corresponding to any overall buckling mode, however, such as flexural buckling, cannot be developed if the elements of the cross section are so thin that local buckling occurs. This type of instability is a localized buckling or wrinkling at an isolated location.
  • If it occurs, the cross section is no longer fully effective, and the member has failed. I-shaped cross sections with thin flanges or webs are susceptible to this phenomenon, and their use should be avoided whenever possible. Otherwise, the compressive strength given by AISC Equations must be reduced.

3.5 Torsional and Flexural-Torsional Buckling

29 When an axially loaded compression member becomes unstable overall (that is, not locally unstable), it can buckle in one of three ways, as shown in figure

3.5 Torsional and Flexural-Torsional Buckling

30 3.5.1 Flexural buckling We have considered this type of buckling up to now. It is a deflection caused by bending, or flexure, about the axis corresponding to the largest slenderness ratio. This is usually the minor principal axis the one with the smallest radius of gyration. Compression members with any type of cross-sectional configuration can fail in this way.

3.5 Torsional and Flexural-Torsional Buckling

31 3.5.2 Torsional buckling This type of failure is caused by twisting about the longitudinal axis of the member. It can occur only with doubly symmetrical cross sections with very slender cross-sectional elements. Standard hot-rolled shapes are not susceptible to torsional buckling, but members built up from thin plate elements may be and should be investigated.

3.5 Torsional and Flexural-Torsional Buckling

32 3.5.3 Flexural-Torsional buckling This type of failure is caused by a combination of flexural buckling and torsional buckling. The member bends and twists simultaneously. This type of failure can occur only with unsymmetrical cross sections, both those with one axis of symmetry such as channels, structural tees, double-angle shapes, and equal-leg single angles and those with no axis of symmetry, such as unequal-leg single angles.
