limit

Actual c,+/t,E= 49.6/0.81 = 61.0; within limit for pure bending Assume since compression of 160kN is very low compared with axial resistance of cross-section (A,f, = 10500 x355/10' =3727kN) that section is Class I under combined loading.

Major and minor axis column buckling resistances

Effective lengths:

L,,,, = 1.0 L = 1.0 x5600 =5600mm for buckling about the y-y axis L,,,
= 1.0

= 1.0

x 5600 = 5600mm for buckling about the z-z axis

Non-dimensional column slendernesses:

Buckling curves: h / b = 528.3/208.8 = 2.53 > 1.2. For major axis buckling, use buckling curve 'a' (a = 0.21) For minor axis buckling, use buckling curve 'b' ( a = 0.34) Buckling reduction factors
