Buckling Resistance in Compression Members

This document provides guidance on assessing the buckling resistance of compression members. It states that the design compression force must not exceed the design buckling resistance, which is calculated using the member's cross-sectional properties, yield strength and a reduction factor obtained from buckling curves. It provides equations to calculate the buckling resistance and defines the parameters used, including the slenderness ratio and imperfection factor which determine the applicable buckling curve. Tables are included specifying which buckling curve to use for different cross-section types.

6.3 Buckling resistance of members


6.3.1

Uniform members in compression

Buckling resistance

A compression member should be verified against buckling as follows:

N Ed
1,0
N b ,Rd
where NEd

(6.46)

is the design value of the compression force;

Nb,Rd is the design buckling resistance of the compression member.


(2) For members with non-symmetric Class 4 sections allowance should be made for the additional
moment MEd due to the eccentricity of the centroidal axis of the effective section, see also [Link](4), and
the interaction should be carried out to 6.3.4 or 6.3.3.

The design buckling resistance of a compression member should be taken as:

for Class 1, 2 and 3 cross-sections

(6.47)

for Class 4 cross-sections

(6.48)

where is the reduction factor for the relevant buckling mode.


NOTE For determining the buckling resistance of members with tapered sections along the member
or for non-uniform distribution of the compression force second order analysis according to 5.3.4(2)
may be performed. For out-of-plane buckling see also 6.3.4.

In determining A and Aeff holes for fasteners at the column ends need not to be taken into account.

properties.

(2) The imperfection factor corresponding to the appropriate buckling curve should be obtained from
Table 6.1 and Table 6.2.
