Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a column with an effective length of 4m under an axial load of 100kN. Ensure it uses an ISHB section with a specific slenderness ratio requirement.

💡 Hint: Use design tables and be meticulous with calculations.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate a built-up column subjected to lateral loads. How would you determine the adequacy of design against local buckling?

💡 Hint: Refer to local buckling criteria in structural codes.
