Can the buckling load be much greater than collapse load?
Can the buckling load be much greater than collapse load?
(OP)
I am doing buckling and collapse analysis of a tank structure by FEA software. The results show that the buckling load is much bigger than the collapse load, is it possible? or there are somethings wrong in my model?
Thanks
Thanks

not quite sure what the collapse load is , maybe everything working at fcy.
you may want to look into crippling of your section, usually only a problem on thin gage members, thick, narrow flanges are stable in compression, and so can work up to fcy.
