Struts
Introduction
COLUMNS are vertical members used to carry axial compression loads. Such
structural elements are found, for example, in buildings supporting floors, roofs or
cranes. If they are subjected to significant bending moments in addition to the axial
loads, they are called beam-columns.
A Structural member subjected to axial compressive force is called STRUT.
Compared to columns, the strut cross-sectional dimensions are small.
Examples of struts are connecting rods, piston rods etc.,
Crippling load and crippling stress in terms of effective length and radius of gyration,
If load is applied sufficiently quickly to the strut, then it is possible to pass through the fundamental mode
and to achieve at least one of the other modes which are theoretically possible. In practical loading situations,
however, this is rarely achieved since the high stress associated with the first critical condition generally
ensures immediate collapse.
