Column Buckling
Introduction Structural dynamics problems deal with structures in motion. Examples include shock and vibration isolators, wind-induced deflections, aeroelastic phenomena, etc. One problem that does not involve motion, but which is closely related to structural dynamics, is column buckling. The similarity is due to the type of mathematics that is encountered in buckling analysis. Buckling Defined… Read more
Effective Length for RCC Columns
In STAAD.Pro, ELY and ELZ are parameters used to define the effective length factors of a column in the major axis (local Y-axis) and minor axis (local Z-axis), respectively. These parameters are essential when designing RCC columns to account for buckling in different directions as per the relevant design code, such as IS 456:2000. How… Read more
