Question
The 2014-T6 aluminum column has the cross section shown. If the column is pinned at both ends and subjected to an axial force P = 100 kN, determine the maximum length the column can have to safely support the loading.
Solution
The first step in solving 13.6 problem number 17 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The 2014-T6 aluminum column has the cross section shown. If the column is pinned at both ends and subjected to an axial force P = 100 kN, determine the maximum length the column can have to safely support the loading.
From the textbook chapter DESIGN OF COLUMNS FOR CONCENTRIC LOADING you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
