Curved Column Buckling
Curved Column Buckling
(OP)
I am using a resource to determine the buckling allowable for a curved beam under combined bending and compression, but I do not know where the resource comes from. It is a scanned copy that has been handed down from other structure's guys and I have no way to reference it.
I have attached a copy of the portion that I have in my possession. If anyone can help me locate where this is from, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Curved Column Buckling
not sure i like the hand written notes ... P is surely the applied axial load, PE is clearly the euler column load, P0 is the true column allowable
RE: Curved Column Buckling
The handwritten analysis is not relevant and has nothing to do with what I am currently working on. It was inadvertently scanned in with the text.
This is a frame that is formed in the shape of a curve, not a post-buckled beam.
I have done the Euler calculation for a straight beam and am using the chart to find a knockdown factor for a curved beam of equivalent cross-section and length.
Hope that clears up what I am trying to do.
Thanks
