Hi All,
I have a 6X4x3/16 hot rolled tube which is laying on its 6" side and anchored into a concrete foundation. There is a column with a base plate setting on top of the tube. I am concerned with the buckling of the tube walls as they will be axially loaded in this condition. How would you recommend checking the tube for this type of loading? I was planning to look at the vertical walls of the tube as edge loaded rectangular plates but I can't seem to find any equations for determining the allowable capacity. I welcome any suggestions.
Thanks!
