K is a factor that when multiplied by the actual length of theend-restrained compression member, | gives the length of an equivalent pin-ended compression member whose buckling load is the same as that of the end-restrained member. KL represents the length be- tween inflection points of a buckled compression mem- ber. Restraint against rotation and iranslation of com- pression member ends influences the position of the inflection points. Theoretical values of K for some ideal- ized compression member end conditions are given in Table C-1. Since compression member end conditions seldom comply fully with idealized conditions used in buckling analysis, the recommended values suggested by the Structural Stability Research Council are higher than the idealized values. GE Desicn Specirications + Aprit_ 2000 In trusses and frames where lateral stability is pro- vided by diagonal bracing, shear walls, or other suitable ‘means, the effective length factor, K, for compression ‘members shall be taken as unity, unless structural analy- sis shows a smaller value may be used. Inthe absence of a more refined analysis, the effective length factor K for the compression members in the braced plane in triangulated trusses, trusses, and frames may be taken as: * For members riveted, or bolted or welded end con- ditions at both ends, K = 0.75, + For pinned connections at both ends: K = 0.875 ‘Vierendell trusses shall be treated as unbraced frames TABLE C-1 BUCKLED SHAPE OF / COLUMN IS SHOWN BY i DASHED LINE 4 EFFECTIVE LENGTH FACTORS, K APPROXIMATED@) THEORETICAL K VALUE os | 07 DESIGN VALUE OF K WHEN IDEAL CONDITIONS ARE 065 | 0.80 f END CONDITION CODE ROTATION FIXED TRANSLATION FIXED ROTATION FREE TRANSLATION FIXED ROTATION FIXED TRANSLATION FREE ROTATION FREE TRANSLATION FREE C2 Arrenpix C Feehan pe F
