Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a steel column for a specified load and height. Determine whether it will encounter elastic or inelastic buckling and justify your reasoning with calculations.
💡 Hint: Use F_cr equations effectively for both states.
Question 2
Analyze a historical structural failure due to buckling. Identify the misjudged slenderness parameter and suggest preventive measures.
💡 Hint: Investigate record examples to draw connections to current practices.
