Effective length of insufficiently restrained columns
in the frames
While using the above charts following limitations should be
considered.
When a member is either not present or not firmly
connected to the frame, it should be considered to have
zero stiffness.
If a framing member carries nearly full moment (90% of its
capacity) it will not provide resistance for preventing the
column from buckling when plastic hinges have formed.
For such beams, stiffness should be taken as zero.
If the column under question itself carries full moment (90%
of its capacity) it will develop flexural hinge at top and
bottom and as such its effective length should be taken as
.

When the column is attached to the foundation, a rational
value of k at the bottom should be chosen (i.e. k=1 if
pinned, 0.9 if not rigidly connected and 0.5 if rigidly
connected with transverse beams).
rotational continuity is distributed by either plasticity or by
partial release due to practical foundation problems which
are likely to reduce the restraint at the ends of the column.

Effective length consideration when the frame is
partially braced
For a frame partially restrained by filler walls in between the
framing members the above nomograms cant be used.
The effective length will depends on the relative stiffness of
bracing system provided as these panel walls partially
inhibit sway.
The relative stiffness of the bracing system to that of the
frame (based on BS5950)

The condition at failure
the failure criteria for elastic-plastic structure is similar to
elastic structure with plastically deforming parts eliminated.
The elastic portion between plastic hinges will still be
contributing to the energy.
The structure with the eliminated parts is termed
deteriorated or depleted. The critical load obtained under
this depleted or deteriorated structure is known as
deteriorated critical load.
