    The objective of the experiment was to compare the experimental buckling loads of model columns with different end conditions to theoretical values. The experiment used model columns with varying end conditions, measurement tools, and weights to apply loads. It discusses column behavior, ideal columns, types of columns based on load direction and slenderness ratio, and Euler's critical buckling load equation. Observations of the column properties and calculated/experimental buckling loads were recorded in a table to analyze percent differences.

    EXPERIMENT # 2

    Determination of Euler's Critical Buckling Load using Model Columns with different End
    Conditions
    Objective
     It is to compare the experimental values of elastic critical buckling load for columns
    with theoretical values.

    Apparatus
     Model columns with different end conditions
     Vernier calipers and screw gauges
     Measuring tape or steel ruler
     Weights in order to apply load over columns
    Theory:
    Column
    Member subjected to axial compressive load. Load of the beams transfer to the column and the
    columns transfer load to the foundation.
    Column may have a crushing failure or buckling failure.
    Ideal Column
    In an ideal column load must act at the centroid of the cross section i-e there is no any
    eccentricity of the load. And there shouldn't be any axial initial imperfection and cross section
    should be constant throughout the length of the column.
    Types of Columns
     Based on line of action of load:
    i. Concentrically loaded columns
    ii. Eccentrically loaded columns
    Buckling phenomenon will be pronounced in case of eccentrically loaded columns.
     Based on Slenderness ratio:
    i. Short columns:
    These are also called struts. If columns have slenderness ratio less than or equal to 30 then
    column is called short column.
    𝑲𝑳
    ≤ 𝟑𝟎
    𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏
    Equation 7.1
    If failure of the column is due to the crushing or bulging then column will be called as the short
    column.
    ii. Intermediate Column
    Failure of the intermediate columns is either crushing or buckling

    𝟑𝟎 < ≤ 𝟏𝟎𝟎
    𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏
    Equation 7.2
    iii. Long columns:
    Columns having slenderness ratio greater than 100 and failure of the column is due to the
    buckling.
    𝑲𝑳
    > 100
    𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏
    Equation 7.3
    Slenderness Ratio
    A ratio of dimensions of a column and support condition by which we can know the type of
    failure of the column.
    K = effective length factor depends upon the end conditions of a column
