Bent Column End Moments and Pcr
Bent Column End Moments and Pcr
(OP)
Novice question but I have a bent beam with clamped ends for which I'm trying to determine the critical load as well as the end moments Ma and Mb and the peak internal resisting moment.





RE: Bent Column End Moments and Pcr
It might help if you gave some details like loads, dimension of beams etc, and what is P meant to be.

if it's true beam, i don't think the initially deformed shapr affects the moments or stresses (apart form the stresses due to the deformation (i mean it's bent, right, so something bent it ... applied platic deformation, residual stresses, etc).
if it's a column, the solution for a column that isn't straight is well known.

I have only seen solutions for deformed beams with pinned ends. I am not familiar with that supplement but I will look into it, does it have a solution/derivation for deformed beams of varying end fixities?
JSF:
No I did not mean to depict point C as a pin just a point on the column at which I was interested in determining the internal moment.
