EChapter E Design of members for compression

This chapter addresses members subjected to axial compression.

The chapter is organized as follows:

• E1. General Provisions
• E2. Effective Length
• E3. Flexural Buckling of Members Without Slender Elements
• E4. Torsional and Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Single Angles and Members Without Slender Elements
• E5. Single-Angle Compression Members
• E6. Built-Up Members
• E7. Members with Slender Elements

User Note: For cases not included in this chapter, the following sections apply:

• • H1–H2 Members subjected to combined axial compression and flexure
• • H3 Members subjected to axial compression and torsion
• • I2 Composite axially loaded members
• • J4.4 Compressive strength of connecting elements
