Note that interpolation for C "between
the lines" is ·non-linear. For an exact
value here, or for k1L/EI > 200, Per can
be found by successive trials, as follows
1.Use the figure to get an approximate
value of C and calculate Per•
2, Get the corres.ponding.values of J, L/j
COF and SF (= 4SCEI/L).
3, Enter the values in the following
buckling equation {see . Ref, 4 for
derivation of the equation).~

4,If the left side of the equation
is< 1,0 assume a slightly larger va-
lue for Per and repeat steps (2)-(4)1
if > 1,0 assume a smaller value,
5.Repeat steps (2)-(4) until the equation
is satisfied and Per is as assumed,
rhe value used for E must cor-
respond to Et for Fer when F0 r
is in the plastic range, or to Eerr.
To check a column's adequacy under
a given load enter its values of SF and
COF in the equation, If the left side is
< 1.0 it is stable1 if> 1,0 it is un-
stable, See A:IJ •.l.3a. for SC and COF .values.
