Column Buckling
(OP)
I am looking for the best method to determine Pcrit for a beam with a variable cross-section. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

RE: Column Buckling
RE: Column Buckling
Nc = (pi^2/Le^2)*(200*d*.6*Mub)/(1+Beta_d) where
Nc = Buckling load
Pi = pi or 22/7
Le = effective length of column
d = depth to outermost layer of tensile steel
Mub = moment corresponding to nuetral axis depth of 0.6*d
Beta_d = ratio of dead load to total load.
Hope this helps!
