Kl/r Ratio of The Steel Column ????
Kl/r Ratio of The Steel Column ????
(OP)
I am designing a steel shed in SAP2000 (Sizes 29.5mx43.2mx9m) shed have 2 span so intermediate column length is 10 m and for this column Sap is giving me warning that the column Kl/r is increasing by 200 (actual ratio coming 256) so my question is that can I ignore this warning if not then how I can fix this problem any economical solution however stress ratio of this column is 75% so I don’t want to increase the column section any other reasonable solution regarding this.
Waiting for your valuable reply thanks in advance

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.

UB 610x229x140 still the warning appears and before I was using the section UB457x191x67 this much different does not solve my problem, still if I go with this option my boss will kill me
I cannot provide bracing because of the block wall between the steel columns, by using the block wall I can reduce unbraced length of the column by providing some connection through angels or plates????

Ignore it and you can then follow up in the Engineering Failures forum. Why do you think this limit is required?

Also, if applicable, you may wish to consider the possibility of forklift trucks colliding with the column.
