Composite column buckling check
Composite column buckling check
(OP)
When the plate element slenderness is less than yield limit λey, it is non-compact. Why are not we checking λe<λep plastic limit? If λe<λey, while it is not slender, but it still can be non-compact section, whereas if λe<λep, the section will be fully compact
If the section is compact, it won't buckle. But if the section is noncompact(λe<λey), can't it buckle?
