For the case of rolled and equivalent welded sections, for I-sectionswith h / h 52.0, use buckling curve 'b' ( a = 0.34). For rolled sections, , 0 = 0.75 and All = 0.4. Buckling reduction factor XL1:

Combined axial loud plus bending

For a column in simple construction, the ,following simplified interaction check may be performed:

= 0.81 +0.04+0.0.3 = 0.88 I 1.0 :.OK

:.Adopt 254 x 254 x 73 UKC Note how the ,first term (axial load) dominates for this arrangement, illustrating why great precision is not required with the two bending terms and justifying the use of conservative interaction factors.
