    November 2, 2017Addis Ababa institute of Technology

    4

    Compression members are the most common of structural elements carrying either axial load with or without bending moment. This

    topic deals with for the cases where members are carrying only axial load with eccentricity considered to be less than 1/1000 of the

    member length.Compression members in buildings:

    It’s virtually impossible to avoid

    some eccentricity in compression

    members.

    Introduction: Compression in Steel Members

    Usually members in compression are made with rolled profiles or built up sections .

    Introduction: Compression in Steel Members

    The resistance of a steel member subject to axial compression depends on;

    ► the cross section resistance or

    ► the occurrence of instability phenomena, such as flexural buckling, torsional buckling or flexural-torsional

    buckling.

    In general, the design for

    compression is governed

    by the second condition

    (instability phenomena) as

    steel members are

    usually of medium to

    high slenderness.

  • November 2, 2017Addis Ababa institute of Technology

    11

    Introduction: Buckling of compressed steel members

    The resistance of a compression member decreases as its length increases, in contrast to the axially loaded tension

    member whose resistance is independent of its length.

    Thus, the compressive resistance of a very slender member

    may be much less than its tensile resistance, as shown

  • November 2, 2017Addis Ababa institute of Technology

    12

    Introduction: Buckling of compressed steel members

    This decrease in resistance is caused by the action of the applied compressive load N which causes bending in a

    member with initial curvature.

    The curvature and the lateral deflection of a

    compression member increase with the load

    For the hypothetical limiting case of a perfectly

    straight elastic member, there is no bending until

    the applied load reaches the elastic buckling value

    Ncr (EC3 refers to Ncr as the elastic critical force).

    At this load, the compression member begins to

    deflect laterally, as shown in the Figure, and

    these deflections grow until failure occurs at the

    beginning of compressive yielding.

    13

    Introduction: Buckling of compressed steel members

    The instability or buckling phenomenon can take place flexurally, torsionally or with a combination of a flexural and a torsional behavior:

    Compression members having typical I- or

    H-shaped cross-section with two axes of

    symmetry are generally interested by

    flexural buckling

    Cruciform sections, T-sections, angles and, in

    general, all cross-sectional shapes in which all

    the elements converge into a single point, are

    generally sensitive to torsional buckling

    phenomena.

    Cross-sections with one axis of

    symmetry are prone to flexural-

    torsional buckling in many cases

    instead of the torsional one, owing to

    the fact that both cross-sectional

    centroid and shear center lie on the

    axis of symmetry but are often not

    coincident.

  • Design According to EC3: Approach

    ► Compression members subject to

    ▪ Axial compression only

    ▪ No bending

    ► However in practically real columns are

    subject to

    ▪ Eccentricities of axial loads

    ▪ Transverse forces

    ► The treatment distinguishes between

    ▪ Stocky columns, and

    ▪ Slender columns

  • Design According to EC3: Stocky Columns

    November 2, 2017Addis Ababa institute of Technology

    15

    ► The characteristics of stocky columns are

    ▪ Very low slenderness

    ▪ Unaffected by overall buckling

    ► The compressive strength of stocky columns is

    ▪ Dictated by the cross-section

    ▪ a function of the section classification

    cross-sections of class 1, 2 or 3:,

    cross-sections of class 4

    ► Local instability phenomena only penalize the axial force-carrying capacity for cross-sections belonging to class 4

    because failure occurs at a stress level considerably smaller than the yielding stress.

    ► When the cross-section of the compression member is characterized by a single axis of symmetry, an additional

    flexural action ΔM Ed may arise, due to the eccentricity between the gross cross-section centroid (on which the axial

    force is nominally applied) and the centroid of the resisting cross-section. (See Next Slides)

    Strength design for a compression member subjected to a centric axial force N Ed at a given cross section is performed

    by comparing the demand to the axial resistance capacity N c,Rd , that is::

    For class 4 cross-sections it is assumed that parts of the area under compression due to local

    instability phenomena do not have any resistance (lost area):

    Typically, the compressed portions of the cross-sections, which have to be neglected for the

    resistance checks, are the parts close to the free end of an outstand flange or the central part of an

    internal compressed element.

    From the design point of view, it is necessary to evaluate the effective cross-section (i.e. gross section minus all

    the lost parts) in accordance with the procedures specified in EN 1993-1-5 (Design of steel structures – Part 1–

    5: Plated structural elements).

    In case of a class 4 circular hollow cross-section, reference has to be made to EN 1993-1-6 (Design of steel

    structures – Part 1–6: Strength and Stability of Shell Structures).

    The effective area of a compressed plate A eff can be obtained from the gross area, A g , as:

  • Buckling : Elastic compression members

    November 5, 2017Addis Ababa institute of Technology

    Buckling of straight members:

    If its stable here then,

    will return to

    original position

    when Unloaded,

    If its unstable here then, will collapse,

    If its neither stable nor

    unstable here then,

    neutral equilibrium

    The load Ncr at which a straight compression member buckles

    laterally can be determined by finding a deflected position which is

    one of equilibrium.

    Euler has done this assuming half sinusoidal buckling curve and

    came up with the expression for Ncr;

    The elastic buckling load Ncr and the elastic buckling stress cr.

    → In which i=√(I/A) is the radius of gyration

    The buckling load varies inversely as the

    square of the slenderness ratio L/i, as

    shown in Figure, in which the dimensionless

    buckling load Ncr/Ny is plotted against the

    generalized slenderness ratio

  • Buckling : Elastic compression members

    November 5, 2017Addis Ababa institute of Technology

    Bending of members with initial curvature:

    Real structural members are not perfectly straight, but have small initial curvatures, which causes it to bend from

    the commencement of application of the axial load, and this increases the maximum stress in the member.

    As the deflections v increase with the load N, so also do the bending moments and the stresses.

    The limiting axial load NL at which the compression member first yields (due to a combination of axial plus bending

    stresses) is given by;

    in which

    For stocky members, the limiting load NL approaches the squash load Ny,

    while for slender members the limiting load approaches the elastic buckling

    load Ncr.

  • Buckling : Inelastic compression members

    November 5, 2017Addis Ababa institute of Technology

    7

    Tangent modulus theory of buckling:

    The analysis of a perfectly straight elastic compression member discussed in the pervious slides applies only to a material

    whose stress–strain relationship remains linear.

    However, the buckling of an elastic member of a non-linear material, such as that whose stress–strain relationship is shown

    in the figure, can be analyzed by a simple modification of the linear elastic treatment.

    It is only necessary to note that the small bending

    stresses and strains, which occur during buckling, are

    related by the tangent modulus of elasticity Etcorresponding to the average compressive stress N/A

    instead of the initial modulus E.

    Ncr,t is obtained by substituting Et for E, whence

    It can be seen that the deviation of Ncr,t from Ncrincreases as the slenderness ratio L/i decreases.

  • Buckling : Inelastic compression members

    November 5, 2017Addis Ababa institute of Technology

    8

    Buckling of members with residual stresses:

    The presence of residual stresses in an intermediate length steel compression member may cause a significant reduction in its

    buckling resistance.

    Residual stresses are established during the cooling of a hot-rolled or welded steel member (and during plastic deformation such as

    cold-rolling).

    Residual stress could;

    ► Cause yielding with

    axial stresses,

    ► Reduce effective area

  • Buckling : Real Compression Members

    November 5, 2017Addis Ababa institute of Technology

    9

    The conditions under which real members act differ in many ways from the idealized conditions assumed in the pervious

    slides for the analysis of the elastic buckling of a perfect member.

    Real members;

    ► are not perfectly straight,

    ► their loads are applied eccentrically, and

    ► accidental transverse loads may act,

    These imperfections can be represented by an increased equivalent

    initial curvature which has a similar effect on the behavior of the member

    as the combined effect of all of these imperfections.(Curve A)

    Real members;

    ► A real member also has residual stresses, and

    ► its elastic modulus E and yield stress fy may vary throughout the

    member.

    These can be represented by an equivalent set of the residual

    stresses.(Curve B)

    Thus the real member behaves as a member with equivalent initial curvature (curve A)until the elastic limit is reached. It then

    follows a path which is similar to and approaches that of a member with equivalent residual stresses (curve B).

    Example 3.2. Design the column BD of the steel structure represented in the figure below, using a HEB cross

    section in S 355 steel, according to EC1993-1-1. The column is fixed at the base and hinged at section B (with respect

    to the two principal axis of the cross section). Cross section B is fixed in both horizontal directions, in the plane

    of the structure (due to the beam itself) and in the perpendicular plane (because of secondary bracing members).

    Step2: Select a preliminary cross section.

    Assuming class 1,2 or 3 cross sections, and considering

    minimum cross sectional resistance.

    As it is expected that buckling resistance will govern the

    member design, a HEB 240 in S 355 steel is proposed (class 1

    in pure compression), with the following properties

    (geometrical and mechanical):

    Step3: Check for instability.

    Step3.1: Identify the Buckling length in both direction.

    According to the support conditions, the buckling lengths

    are equal in both planes, given by:

    Because the buckling lengths are equal in both planes, the

    orientation of the cross section is arbitrary. For constructional

    reasons, the section is placed as shown in the Figure, with the

    strong axis (y axis) in the perpendicular direction to the

    plane of the structure.
