When a short, stocky column is loaded the strength is limited by
the yielding of the entire cross section.

flexural (global) buckling is the most likely potential failure
mode prior to reaching the squash load.

If the column behavior is inelastic,
Yielding decreases stiffness of the column.
Relative joint restraint of the girders increases.
G therefore decreases, as does K.
Decrease is typically small.
Conservative to ignore effects.
Can account for effects by using a
stiffness reduction factor, t, times G.

These conditions can be directly accounted
for, but are generally avoided in design.
Partial restraint of connections and non-
uniform members effectively change the
rotational stiffness at the connections.
Only include members RIGIDLY
ATTACHED (pin ended members are not
included in G calculations).

Design typically checks each story
independently, based on these assumptions.
In general, columns are chosen to be a similar size for more
than one story. For each column section this results in sections
with extra strength in upper floors, and close to their strength
in lower floors.
Actual conditions can be directly accounted
for, but are generally ignored in design.

This case will be addressed first, with the
concept valid for general conditions as well.
In a story not all columns will be loaded to their full strength.
Some are ready to buckle, while others have additional strength.
An extreme case of this is a leaner column.

LEANER COLUMNS
114 Compression Theory
Leaner Columns
For this structure note that the right columns are pinned
at each connection, and provide no bending restraint.
Theoretically G at top and bottom is infinite.
115 Compression Theory

Columns
Theoretically the column has an infinite KL.
Therefore, the strength should be zero.
For Leaner Columns:
G
top
= Infinity
G
bottom

Therefore K= Infinity

KL= Infinite

So the column has no strength
according to the alignment chart

However, the total load on a leaner column still must not

122 Compression Theory
Leaner Columns
A system of columns for each story should be considered.
Actual design considers inelastic behavior of the sections,
but the basic concept is the same.
The strength of the story is the load
which would cause all columns to sway.
The strength of an individual column is
the load which would cause it to buckle
in the non-sway mode (K=1).

124 Compression Theory
Once the limit against lateral buckling and
lateral restraint is reached, the entire story
will exhibit sidesway buckling.
In general, each story is a system of columns which are loaded to
varying degrees of their limiting strength.
Those with additional strength can provide
lateral support to those which are at their
sidesway buckling strength.

Axial load reduces bending stiffness of a section.


In girders, account for this with reduction factor on EI/L.
127 Compression Theory
Alignment Chart
If bending load dominates, consider the
member a girder with reduced rotational
stiffness at the joint (axial load reduction).
If axial load dominates, consider member a
column with extra strength to prevent the
story from buckling (sum of forces approach).
It is helpful to think in terms of members controlled by axial
force or bending, rather than girders and columns.
