Two L 127 x 76 x 12.7-mm structural steel angles are used for a column (Use appendix B of the text book for cross-sectional properties) are used for a pin-ended column that is 4 m long. Determine the compressive buckling load if: θ·
The angles act independently of each other θ·
The angles are riveted together as shown in Figure 2. θ·
If the angles are riveted and the resulting column is fixed-fixed and fixed-pin conditions.
