COMPRESSION MEMBERS: When a load tends to squeeze or shortened a member the stress produced are to be compressive stresses and the member is called a compression member. Types: column , top chord of trusses , bracing , compression flanges of rolled beams, built up section, ete. Strut (compression member) — is a short vertical member subjected to compressive loads. pedestal is a base or foundation that supports something like a statue or work of art Slenderness ratio - is a measurement of tendency of the member to buckle. The tendency to buckle is also affected other factors such 1.types of end connection 2. eccentricity of load application 3. imperfection of column material 4. initial crookedness 5. and residual stresses from manufacturer. Axial_ or concentrated load — loads that are exactly centered over a column. Residual Stresses - is the result of uneven cooling of shape after hot rolling The quicker cooling parts of the sections when solidifies resist further shortening while those parts that are still hot tend to shorten further as they cool. The areas which cooled more quickly have residual compressive stresses while the slower cooling areas have residual tensile stresses. The most efficient compression member is one that has a constant radius of gyration about its centroid, a property available in round tubing and square tubing Built-up is used as compression member when the member is long and support very heavy load or when there is connection disadvantage.

It takes into account the effect of residual stresses, the actual end restraint conditions of the column and varying strengths of different steel. It is consider economical and logical design of structural steel column, Itassume that because of residual stresses the upper limit of the elastic buckling is defined by an average stress equal to one-half of yield point (1/2 Fy).
