Compression Member Design 1
Buckling of Struts
Introduction:
Strut is a:
• Structural element with a straight-line idealisation
• Subjected to axial compression
• Has such a length that it may fail by buckling
• Effect of direct compression stress is negligible
Euler's Theory:
• Used to predict load that will cause buckling
Rankine’s Theory:
• Used for shorter struts to take into account direct compressive stresses
Reff: UCT Notes 2007
Compression Member Design 2
Buckling of Struts
Introduction:
Assumptions:
• Strut is initially straight
• Load is applied axially (concentrically)
• Material is homogenous
Thus: the strut remains straight as load is gradually increased until critical load is reached of which
then =
• If load is increased – strut buckles
• If load is reduced – strut straightens up

The codes assumes that the members are of the same material, hence youngs modulus (E) is the
same. However, if this is not the case then:
