    The document discusses compression members and buckling. It introduces Euler's equation for predicting the critical buckling load of a column. The critical buckling stress is related to the member's effective length and radius of gyration. Experimental data shows columns have a transition range between plastic and elastic behavior when buckling. Effective length factors are used to account for member end conditions and bracing in continuous structures. The document also covers topics like residual stresses, geometric imperfections, AISC design curves, local buckling, analysis procedures, examples, and failure modes.

    The Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler developed an equation that predicts the critical
    buckling load (Pcr) for a straight pinned end column.

    Dividing by the area of the element, we get an equation for the critical buckling stress:

    scr= p2E/(L/r)2

    Where the member cross sectional dependent term (L/r) is referred to as the "slenderness" of
    the member.
    Graphing Euler's equation shows that the predicted buckling stress gets quite large for small values of
    slenderness. At these levels, the critical buckling stress exceeds the capacity of the material to handle
    it (Fy), so the limiting strength becomes the material strength instead of buckling.
    smax = minimum[p2E/(L/r)2, Fy]
    Experimental data shows that the above lines
    are UPPER limits of actual member strength.
    The data also shows that the transition from
    plastic (i.e. smax = Fy) behavior to elastic
    (smax = euler stress) is not as clean as shown
    above. The transition contains characteristics
    of both plastic and elastic behavior. As a result
    the transition range is often referred to as the
    "inelastic" range.
