1. INTRODUCTION Yo shold recall that compression members fall into three grops, long (strts) intermediate and short (colmns). irst we need to now that a material may fail de to exceeding the ltimate (maximm) compressive stress. This is often referred to as the crshing stress. If this was the only factor casing failre the load that prodces it wold be given by the formla = = Ultimate compressive load = ltimate compressive stress = cross sectional area. It is bad practise to apply a load at a point on brittle colmns becase high local stress reslts in that region. steel plate shold be sed to spread the load over the section. Ideally the load is applied at the centre of area and it is assmed that the compressive stress spreads ot evenly over the section. If the load is and the cross sectional area is then the direct (compressive) stress is σ D = -/ (compression is negative) igre 1 In reality, there is often bending associated with the failre and this is especially tre with intermediate members.. INTRMDIT COMPRSSION MMBRS It is fond that steel strts with a slenderness ratio of 80 to 10 fail at smaller loads than predicted by ler. These are intermediate compression members in which compression and bending have an effect on failre..1 RNKIN - GORDON THORY GORDON sggested that for sch members, an empirical formla be sed (based on experimental data). RNKIN modified Gordon's formla. The following shows the reasoning for this formla. π I = ler's critical load. and this applies to strts. = Ultimate compressive load = and this applies to colmns. = ltimate compressive stress. = cross sectional area. Ranine sggested that an intermediate compression member fails de to both bcling and compression to more or less degrees. Based on experimental data, it is fond that a reasonable prediction of the load at failre is given by the reciprocal formla. 1 1 1 This rearranges to R R = Ranine s Critical load. R The formla indicates that for slender members R dominates and for short members dominates. D.J.Dnn Material spplied from www.freestdy.co.

lthogh there is a theoretical vale for the constant a based on material properties, it is sal to determine it from experiment. The experimental vale varies slightly from the theoretical.

The ltimate compressive stress is mared on the stress axis. The reslt shows how R tends to as the member becomes short and tends to as the member gets longer. The region of interest is arond the S.R. = 80 point where the correct stress lays between the other two vales. igre WORKD XMP No.1 ind the Ranine critical load for a strt with an I section as shown given = 35 MPa, = 05 MPa and = 16 m.

3. COUMNS colmn is a thic compression member. Strts fail de to bending bt colmns fail in compression. Colmns are sally made of brittle material which is strong in compression sch as cast iron, stone and concrete. These materials are wea in tension so it is important to ensre that bending does not prodce tensile stresses in them. If the compressive stress is too big, they fail by crmbling and cracing 3.1 OST ODS igre 4 Colmns often spport offset loads and these prodce bending stresses that combine with the compressive stress. This is illstrated in figre 5. igre 5 If a load is applied on the centre of the section, the stress in the colmn will be a direct compressive stress given by D = - / Remember that compressive stresses are always negative. When the load is applied a distance 'x' from the centroid, a bending moment is indced in the colmn as shown. The bending moment is M = x where x is the off set distance. D.J.Dnn Material spplied from www.freestdy.co. 6
rom the well nown formla for bending stress we have B = My/I y is the distance from the centroid to the edge of the colmn. The stress prodced will be +ve (tensile) on one edge and -ve (compressive) on the other. On the compressive edge this will add to the direct compressive stress maing it larger so that = B + D = -My/I - / On the tensile edge the reslting stress is Sbstitte M = x = B + D = My/I - / = = xy/i - / WORKD XMP No. colmn is 0.5 m diameter and carries a load of 500 N offset from the centroid by 0.1m. Calclate the extremes of stresses. SOUTION = 500 N x = 0.1 m y = D/ = 0.5 m Tensile dge = B + D = xy/i - / = 500 000 x 0.1 x 0.5 /( x 0.54/64) - 500 000/( x 0.5/4) = 1.58 MPa (Tensile) Compressive dge = B + D = -xy/i - / = -500 000 x 0.1 x 0.5 /( x 0.54/64) - 500 000/( x 0.5/4) = -6.61MPa (compressive) D.J.Dnn Material spplied from www.freestdy.co. 7
3. NUTR XIS The netral axis is the axis of zero stress. In the above example, the stress varied from 1.58 MPa on one edge to -6.61 MPa on the other edge. Somewhere in between there mst a vale of y which maes the stress zero. This does not occr on the centroid bt is by definition the position of the netral axis. Ideally this axis shold not be on the section at all so that no tensile stress occrs in the colmn. The position of the netral axis can easily be fond by drawing a stress distribtion diagram and then either scaling off the position or calclate it from similar triangles. WORKD XMP No.3 Determine the position of the netral axis for the colmn in example. SOUTION Drawing a graph of stress against position (y) along a diameter we get the figre shown (not drawn to scale). If it is drawn to scale the position of the netral axis may be scaled off. igre 6 Using similar triangles we arrive at the soltion as follows. + B = 0.5 = 0.5 - B /1.58 = B/6.61 (0.5 - B)/1.58 = B/6.61 3.3105-6.61B = 1.58 B B = 0.406 m D.J.Dnn Material spplied from www.freestdy.co. 8
3.3 MXIMUM OST If a colmn mst not go into tension, then the maximm offset may be calclated. Consider a circlar section first. The combined stress de to compression and bending is: xy σ I If the edge mst not go into tension then the maximm stress will be zero so: xy I Z 0 x(max) I y y or a rond section = πd /4 I = πd 4 /64 and y = D/ If we sbstitte we get 4 4D D x(max) 64 D D/ 8 The load mst be no more than D/8 from the centroid. If the colmn is a rectanglar section I = BD 3 /1 = BD and the critical vale of y is D/ 3 I BD D x(max) when the offset is on the short axis. y 1 BD D 6 When the offset is on the long axis x(max) is B/6. This means the offset mst be within the middle 1/3 of the colmn and this is called the middle third rle. The shaded area on the diagram shows the safe region for applying the load. igre 7 or any standard section sch as those in BS4, the maximm offset is easily fond from x = Z/y althogh for steel sections some tension is allowed. WORKD XMP No.4 colmn is made from an niversal I section 305 x 305 x 97. load of MN is applied on the x axis 00 mm from the centroid. Calclate the stress at the oter edges of the x axis. If the colmn is 5 m tall, what is the slenderness ratio? D.J.Dnn Material spplied from www.freestdy.co. 9
