The Euler equation, euller’s explains this phenomena.

Euler theory for elastic buckling

The ‘L’ in this equation symbolizes length and ‘P’ symbolizes the allowable load before buckle.
As the length increases, the allowable load decreases. With shorter columns compared to its
thickness, one can infer from the same equation above that the allowable stress on a column
before buckling increases as length decreases. The type of end connections for the column is
another important factor in determining buckling stress.

From pinned-pinned to fixed-fixed to fixed-pinned connection, they are each represented in the
Euler equation with different values of ‘n.’ The fixed-fixed connection increases the allowable
stress before buckling more than any of the other end connections. In construction, it occurs
differently for different materials.
