Introduction: What are Compression members
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
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.

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.

► 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)

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).

Buckling : Elastic compression members
November 5, 2017Addis Ababa institute of Technology
4
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

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).

In compression members with open cross sections, account should be taken of the possibility that resistance to
torsional or flexural-torsional buckling could be less than the resistance to flexural buckling.

Step2: Select a preliminary cross section.
Assuming class 1,2 or 3 cross sections, and considering

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

Worked Example: Example on buckling resistance of a CHS compression member
Example 3.4. A hot finished circular hollow section (CHS) member is to be used as an internal column in a multi-storey
building. The column has pinned boundary conditions at each end, and the inter-storey height is 4m, as shown. The
critical combination of actions results in a design axial force of 2110kN. Assess the suitability of a hot-rolled 244.5 x 10
CHS in grade S355 steel for this application.
SolutionS 355 for t≤40mm
Material Properties:
► fy = 355 MPa
► fu = 510 MPa
► E = 210 GPa
Step1: Classify the cross-section.

Worked Example: Example on buckling of double angles
Example 3.6. Two steel 125 × 75 × 10 UA are connected together at 1.5 m intervals to form the long compression
member whose properties are given. The minimum second moment of area of each angle is 49.9 cm4. The member is
simply supported about its major axis at 4.5 m intervals and about its minor axis at 1.5 m intervals. Determine the
elastic buckling load of the member Ncr.
Material Properties:
► E = 210 GPa
Solution
Step1: Compute the elastic buckling load about
the major and minor axis, N cr,y and Ncr,Z for the
whole section.
Member buckling about the major axis:
Member buckling about the minor axis:
Step2: Compute the elastic buckling
load, N cr for a single angle about its
own minor axis.
To calculate the elastic buckling load
following equation is generally
applicable for compression members;

and so for both angles
2Ncr,min=2 × 459.7= 919kN < 1520kN.
The lowest buckling load of 919 kN
corresponds to the case where each
unequal angle buckles about its own
minimum axis.
