Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A steel column with a height of 12 ft and a radius of gyration of 3 in buckles under a load. Calculate its slenderness ratio and determine if it is prone to elastic or inelastic buckling.
💡 Hint: Always convert units correctly and use the formula!
Question 2
Two columns are subjected to different loads: Column A has a slenderness ratio of 10, while Column B has a slenderness ratio of 20. Which column is safer in terms of buckling, and why?
💡 Hint: Reflect on the relationship between slenderness ratio and the likelihood of buckling.
