    Buckling Load SAP 2000

    The document summarizes an analysis in SAP 2000 to determine the elastic buckling load of a 6m long steel box column pinned at the bottom and laterally restrained at the top. A load of 1 tonne was applied at the top, and the analysis yielded an elastic buckling load of 18.62 tonnes, close to the 18.65 tonnes calculated using the classical formula. The analysis did not include any member stiffness reduction or correction.

    SAP 2000 Euler Critical Elastic Buckling Load

    The same 100·6 steel box column 6 m long, assumed pinned at bottom
    and laterally restrained atop.
    A load of 1 tonne is applied atop, then getting as elastic buckling load
    18.62 tonnes quite close to 18.65 tonnes derivable from the classical for-
    mula. No stiffness reduction or correction is applied to the member.
    18.65 tonnes Critical Elastic Bend Buckling Load per Iterative evaluation as per Godden’s book
    What stated about the elastic buckling stress in AISC 360-10 (skin color, inset, evaluation)
    We can proceed as if assigning the case to a Dead load type in a on XZ plane frame
    analysis, except that the analysis will be for (elastic) buckling load.

    The Load Patterns definition. Note the Self Weight is assumed null, as in the Euler formu-
    la. If not, the weight of the member becomes a factor and produces a lower load factor, i.e.,
    a lower elastic critical buckling load.
    The Load Cases definition.
    Press the Modify/Show Load Case… key to get to the dialog in
    the following page.
    Letting the upper support descend upon application of
    the load (joint restraint for upper node). The bottom node
    is an ordinary hinge.
    Composite screen showing the data input for the uni-
    tary 1 ton that multiplied by the resulting scale factor
    from the analysis will be the elastic critical load.
    Do not forget to set the Assign Automatic Frame
    Mesh definition to a mínimum number of segments.
    You can Access this feature from the Assign/Frame
    menú

    Running the analysis gives the resulting Buckling


    Scale Factor –here at page 1- that gives you the elas-
    tic critical load of this structure under this loading. As
    said, including the self weight will produce a lower
    Scale Factor for the applied load (lower net elastic
    critical load).
