3 Columns Columns are compression members. There are various examples of members subjected to compressive loads. Various names of compression members as per application: Post is a general term applied to a compression member. Strut is a compression member whose lateral dimensions are small compared to it s length. A strut may be horizontal, inclined or vertical and this term is used in trusses. (Tie is a tension member in a truss) But a vertical strut, used in buildings or frames is called column. Columns, pillars and stanchions are vertical members used in building frames. 3

4 Classification of Columns 1.Short column: Short column fails by crushing (compressive yielding) of the material. 2. Long column: Long column fails by buckling or bending. ( geometric or configuration failure) 3. Intermediate column: Intermediate column fails by combined buckling and crushing. (failure due to both material crushing and geometrical instability) 4

5 Buckling When a slender member is subjected to an axial compressive load, it may fail by a condition called buckling. Buckling is a geometric instability in which - - -:original shape : Buckled shape the lateral displacement of the axial member can suddenly become very large. 5

6 Buckled R.C.C. Columns 6

7 Buckled steel columns 7

8 Buckling examples of structural members 1. Building columns that transfer loads to the ground 2. Truss members in compression 3. Machine elements 4. Submarine hulls subjected to water pressure 8

9 Equilibrium States Three types of equilibrium: 1. Stable equilibrium 2. Unstable equilibrium 3. Neutral equilibrium 9

10 Buckling Mechanism 1. Stable equilibrium: If the load P is sufficiently small, when the force F is removed, the column will go back to its original straight condition. Gravity is the restoring force Elasticity of the column is the restoring force. 10

11 Buckling Mechanism (contd ) 2. Neutral equilibrium: When the column carries critical load P cr (Increased value of the load P) and a lateral force F is applied and removed, the column will remain in the slightly deflected position. Deflection amount depends on magnitude of force. Elastic restoring force is sufficient to prevent excessive deflection. 11

12 Buckling Mechanism (contd ) 3. Unstable equilibrium: When the column carries a load which is more than critical load P cr (Increased value of the load P) and a lateral force F is applied and removed, the column will bend considerably and it grows into excessively large deflection. Even small disturbance causes unstable. Elastic restoring force is insufficient to prevent excessive deflection. 12

13 Buckling Mechanism (contd ) Conclusion: Depending on the magnitude of force P, either column remains in straight position or in slight bent position or collapse due to crack extension. 13

14 Euler s long column theory The direct stress f 0 due to direct load is very small compared to bending stress f b due to buckling in long column. Euler derived an equation, for the buckling load of long column based on bending stress (neglecting the effect of direct stress). Buckling load cannot be used in short column. 14

15 Assumptions in the Euler s theory 1. The column is initially straight. 2. The cross section is uniform throughout. 3. The ends of the column are frictionless. 4. The material is homogeneous and isotropic. 5. The self weight of the column is neglected. 6. The line of thrust coincides exactly with the axis of the column. 7. The shortening of column due to axial compression is negligible. 8. The column failure occurs due to buckling only. 15

16 Cases of long columns based on end conditions 1. Both end pinned 2. Both ends fixed 3. One end fixed and the other end pinned 4. One end fixed and the other end free 16

17 Sign conventions for bending moments Convexity towards centre line, M x is +ve Concavity towards centre line, M x is -ve 17

18 End conditions of column Three important end conditions based on support types. (i) Pinned end: End is fixed in position only. Deflection, y = 0. (ii) Fixed end: End is fixed in position and direction. Deflection y = 0 and slope, dy dx = 0. (iii) Free end: Neither fixed in position nor in direction. 18

19 Case 1. Both ends hinged Consider a column AB of length l with its both ends free to rotate around frictionless pins and carrying a critical load P. As a result of critical loading, let the column deflect into a buckled shape AX 1 B as shown in the figure. Prior to this critical load, the column is straight. Smallest force at which buckled shape is possible is known as critical force. P 19

40 Equivalent Length of a column 40

41 Equivalent length (Effective Length) 41

42 Effective Length Physically, the effective length is the distance between points on the buckled column where the moment goes to zero, i.e., where the column is effectively pinned. Considering the deflected shape, the moment is zero where the curvature is zero (from beam theory). Zero curvature corresponds to an inflection point in the deflected shape (where the curvature changes sign). 42

49 Limitations of Euler s formula 1. It is applicable to an ideal strut only and in practice, there is always crookedness in the column and the load applied may not be exactly co-axial. 2. It takes no account of direct stress. It means that it may give a buckling load for struts, far in excess of load which they can be withstand under direct compression. 49

50 Problems Problem. A hollow circular column of internal diameter 20 mm and external diameter 40 mm has a total length of 5m. One end of the column is fixed and the other end is hinged.

63 Intermediate columns: Empirical Formulae Euler s formula is valid only for long columns, i.e. for columns having L ratio greater than a certain value for a particular K material. Euler s formula though valid for L > 89 for mild steel column, k doesn t take into account the direct compressive stress. For intermediate columns, empirical formulae i.e., Rankine s formula, Gordan s formula and Johnson s formulae are appropriate. 63

95 Short Columns P Axial loading A compression member such as column may be subjected to an axial load which pass through the geometrical axis of the member, thus causing direct stress. The axial force will cause a direct compressive stress given by, f 0 = P A f 0 Direct stress distribution 95

96 Eccentric Loading: Short Columns Some times a compression member such as column may be subjected to an axial load which may not pass through the geometrical axis of the member, thus causing bending as well as direct stress. In all such cases position of neutral layer change or altogether vanishes. The axial force will cause a direct compressive stress given by, f 0 = P A The bending couple will cause longitudinal tensile and compressive stresses. 96

97 Eccentric Loading: Short Columns The fiber stress f b at any distance y from the N.A. is given by, f b = M Y = P e y ( tensile or compressive). I x I x The extreme fibre stress due to bending is given by, f b = M Z x = P e Z x Therefore the total stress at any section of the column is given by, f = f 0 + f b = P A ± P e y I x Hence the maximum total stresses are given by, f max = f 0 + f b = P A + M Z x and f min = f 0 f b = P A M Z x 97

98 Short Columns P Eccentric loading e f max = f 0 + f b = P A + M Z x f min = f 0 f b = P A M Z x e f 0 f b f 0 f 0 < f b f 0 = f b f 0 > f b Stress distribution f b 98

99 Eccentric loading: Short Columns If f 0 is greater than f b the stress throughout the section will be of the same sign. When f 0 = f b, f max = 2f 0 and f min = 0 If, however, f 0 is less than f b, the stress will change sign, being partly tensile and partly compressive across the section. f 0 f b f 0 f 0 < f b f 0 = f b f 0 > f b Stress distribution f b 99

100 Middle third Rule: Short Columns In masonry and concrete structures, the development of tensile stress in the section is not desirable, as they are weak in tension. This limits the eccentricity e to a certain value which will be investigated for different sections as follows. In order that the stress may not change sign from compression to tensile, we have f 0 f b P A My I P Ped ; A 2Ak 2 2k2 e ; d where K is radius of gyration of the section with regard to N.A. and d is the depth of the section. f 0 f b f 0 f 0 < f b f 0 = f b f 0 > f b Stress distribution f b 100

101 Short Columns Ex: Rectangular section: e 2k2 I = bd3 12 and A = bd k 2 = I bd3 = 12 = d2 A bd 12 Since e 2k2 d e 2 d2 12 d e d 6 d b d and hence, e max = d 6 101

102 Ex: Rectangular section: Short Columns e max = d 6 The stress will be of the same sign throughout the b section if the load line is within the middle third of the section. In the case of rectangular section, the maximum intensities of extreme stresses are given by f = P A ± Pe Z = p bd ± 6Pe bd 2 f = P bd 1 ± 6e d d 102

103 Short Columns The core of a section: If the line of action of the stress is on neither of the centre lines of the sections, the bending is unsymmetrical. x A D d However, there is certain area within which the line of action of the force P must cut the cross section if the stress is not to become tensile. The area is known as core or kernal of the section. y y P B C x b 103

104 Short Columns The core of a Rectangular section : Let the point of application of the load P have the coordinates (x,y), with reference to the axis shown in above figure in which x is positive when measured to the right of origin o and y is positive when measured upwards. The stress at any point having coordinates (x,y ) is given by, f = P bd + Pxx bd 3 + Pyy db x A o y P B x b D d y C 104

105 Short Columns The core of a Rectangular section (contd..): f = P bd + Pxx bd 3 + Pyy db = 12P 1 bd 12 + xx d 2 + yy b 2 At D, x = d and 2 y = b 2 at D, we have f = 6P bd 1 6 x d y b and therefore f will be minimum. Thus x A y o B P x b D d y C 105

106 Short Columns The core of a Rectangular section (contd..): f = 6P 1 bd 6 x d y b The value of f reaches zero when x + y = 1 or 6x + 6y = 1 or d b 6 d b x d + y b = 1, which is a straight line equation, whose intercept 6 6 on the axes are respectively d 6 and b 6. Similar limits will apply in other quadrants and the stress will be y wholly compressive throughout the section. A B P b x x D d y C 106

107 Short Columns The core of a Rectangular section (contd..): If the line of action of P fall within rhombus ghjk, the diagonals of which are of length d and b respectively. 3 3 x A D d y d/3 y b/3 B C x b This rhombus is called the core of the rectangular section. 107

108 Short Columns The core of a solid circular section: For no tension, e 2k2 d I = πd4 64, A = πd2 4 k 2 = I πd 4 A = 64 πd 2 4 e 2 d2 16 d = d2 16 d/4 e d 8 The core is the circle with the same centre and diameter d/4 108

109 Short Columns The core of a hollow circular section: For no tension, e 2k2 d I = π(d4 d 4 ) 64, A = π(d2 d 2 ) 4 k 2 = I π(d 4 d 4 ) A = 64 π(d 2 d 2 ) 4 e 2 (D2 + d 2 ) 16 D = (D2 + d 2 ) 16 e (D2 + d 2 ) 8D The core is the circle with the same centre and diameter (D2 +d 2 ) 4D 109
