Practice Problems – Compression Member

Q. No. 1: A W360x101 column has an effective length for y-axis buckling equal to 7m. Determine the effective
length for the x-axis that will provide the same theoretical buckling strength.

Q. No. 2: For a snug tight connection, calculate modified slenderness ration of a built-up compression member
shown in Fig.1. K=1 and L=3.5 m. Gusset plate thickness is 10mm. Clear spacing between stay plates
is 1092mm.

Q. No. 3: Calculate effective length factor ‘k’ for the column in a steel braced frame shown in Fig.2. Ibeam=I, and
Icolumn=2I.

Q. No. 4: Find the capacity in compression of double channels section 2Cs200x17.1 placed flanges turned
inward (face to face) with total width of 150 mm. Assume that there is no problem of local instability.
Clear distance between snug tight bolted stay plates is 1194mm. Steel is A36.

Q. No. 5: Design a welded truss compression member composed of double standard channels placed back to
back with clear gap of 100mm. Length of the member is 7.5m and the maximum compressive factored
force is 1500kN. Design of lacing system is also required.
