Column/Beam buckling
Column/Beam buckling
(OP)
Does anyone have good info or know where I can find info on the bracing force required to resist column and beam buckling? I need this for both steel and wood.
Thanks
Thanks

By buckling load do you mean the axial load applied to the column? Also, for a beam are you calling the buckling load the distributed load tributary to the brace?
Do you know of anything in writing I can use to back up my own calcs?
Thanks again.

The rule disappeared a while ago, presumably as a regognition that the stiffness of the bracing was as important as its strength.

Unfortunately we don't have the AISC 13th edition in our office yet. But what I am looking for is not so much the critical buckling load (Euler), but what force is required to keep the column from buckling. I currently have a column that is 20' tall and is unbraced, and the axial load is higher than the critical buckling force. So if I brace this at the center of the column I can lower my effective length and be able to support more load on my column. But what force/stiffness needs to be present at the bracing point to keep the column from buckling? I would imagine that the bracing force needs to increase with the axial load being applied, but I don't know how to relate the two. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks again!
