The combined elastic and hyperelastic buckling curves (according to Euler and tangent modulus) are shown in Figure 4.6. The transition point representing the change from elastic to plastic behavior is the proportional limit prop of formula (4.4) and the corresponding slenderness ratio ( KL / r ) prop .

10.3. COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
The axial compressive strength of a short column is maximum when buckling does not occur and the entire cross-section has a yield stress F y . The fully yield load P y is the maximum load that the column can withstand and can be used to normalize column curves so that they are independent of the structural steel grade. The axial yield load is:

The Euler column curve and the standard yield bed are shown as the top curve in Figure 10.7. The over-elastic transition curve is also shown. The column curve taking into account the further reduction in buckling load due to the initial curvature is the bottom curve in Figure 10.7.

The strength curve of a column reflects a combination of elastic and hyperelastic behavior. Hyperelastic buckling occurs for columns with average lengths from c = 0 to c = prop , where prop is the slenderness limit for an Euler critical stress prop (Equation 10.4). Elastic buckling occurs for long columns with c larger than prop . Substituting Equation 10.4 and these definitions into Equation 10.8, we obtain:

The value of prop depends on the relative magnitude of the compressive residual stress rc and the yield stress F y . For example, if F y = 345 MPa and rc = 190 MPa, then Equation 10.10 gives

The larger the residual stress, the larger the slenderness limit at which the transition to elastic instability occurs. Almost all columns designed in practice behave as overly elastic mid-length columns. It is rare to find columns that are slender enough to behave as elastic long columns, buckling at the Euler critical load .

Is the Euler ultimate buckling load of formula 10.7 multiplied by a reduction factor of 0.88 to take into account the initial curvature of L /1500. For medium length columns ( < 2.25), the nominal strength of the column P n is determined from the tangent modulus curve with a smooth transition between P n = P y and the Euler buckling curve . The formula for the transition curve is:

The curves describing formulas 10.12 and 10.13 shown in Figure 4.8 correspond to c and not to maintain the shape of the curve as shown previously in Figures 10.6 and 10.7. The final step in determining the compressive strength of the column is to multiply the nominal strength P n by the coefficient of resistance to compression c taken from Table 10.1, i.e.:

F y
The compressive strength of a medium-length column is based on the tangent modulus curve obtained from a cantilever test. A typical stress-strain curve of a cantilever column is shown in Figure 4.5. Since the cantilever column is relatively short, it will not experience bending instability. However, local instability with consequent reduction in load-bearing capacity may occur if the width/thickness ratio of the column members is too large. Therefore, the slenderness of the plates
must satisfy:
(10.15)
b kt
Where, k is the plate buckling factor taken from Table 10.1, b is the plate width given in Table 10.1 (mm) and t is the plate thickness (mm). The requirements given in Table 10.1 for plates supported longitudinally on one edge and plates supported longitudinally on two edges are illustrated in Figure 10.9.
10.3.3.Limited slenderness ratio
If the columns are too thin, they will have very little strength and be uneconomical. The limit is designed
The recommended value for main load-bearing members is ( KL / r ) 120 ( KL / r ) 140 .
