Determination of critical compressive stress without K value?
Determination of critical compressive stress without K value?
(OP)
I am attempting to determine the critical stress, Fcr, without using the effective length factor, K. If I read this correctly; section C-E3 of AISC 360-10 states that the limit between elastic and inelastic buckling can be defined as F¬e=0.44*Fy. If this is true than Fe depends on Fy (and vice versa) which then means that (Fy/Fe)=2.25 and Fcr is then forced to be equal to equation E3-2. Where is the mistake in this thinking?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
