AWT205 x 30 structural steel section (see Appendix B for cross-sectional properties) is used for a 8.5 m column. Assume pinned connections at each end of the column. Determine: (a) the slenderness ratio. (b) the Euler buckling load. Use E = 200 GPa for the steel. (c) the axial stress in the column when the Euler load is applied. Answer: (a) Slenderness ratio = i (b) Per kN (c) o = i MPa
