The slenderness ratio also defines the failure mode of the column based on the effective length and the radius of gyration. (a) in case of flat slab, (b) in case of different beams Where do civil engineers use slenderness ratio in actual design?Īs a civil engineer, our main aim is to find the load which column can take before buckling failure, and this load depends on the slenderness ratio. Incorporate this change in support condition by the effective length as shown in below figure. Euler’s column formula is for pin end column hence load carrying capacity changes with change in support condition. The effective length of a column can be different from its actual length, on the basis of the type of support and the loading conditions. It is used to calculate the critical buckling load of a column, which is the load at which the column becomes unstable and buckles. ![]() The effective length of a column is a measure of the length of the column that is involved in the buckling process. Long or slender columns: The value of slenderness ratio is greater than 12.Short columns: The value of slenderness ratio is less than or equal to 12.On the basis of slenderness ratio, we classify the columns as : Column will bend in the direction where radius of gyration is minimum. $$\text$ is the minimum radius of gyration.īending of column will depends on the radius of gyration. Slenderness ratio is also proportional to K l u, where K is the effective length factor and l u is the unsupported length of the column. This means the tendency of buckling failure is maximum when r is minimum. These compressive loads are connected with buckling phenomenon by Euler’s define the critical load formula.Ĭolumn will buckle in the direction where inertia is minimum hence we choose minimum inertiaįrom the Euler formula, the slenderness ratio is inversely proportional to the radius of gyration. What is the basis of slenderness ratio formula ?Ĭolumns are made to support compressive loads, this compressive load may cause buckling in the column which may lead to failure well before the compressive strength of the column. Sometimes a combination of bi-axial/ uni-axial moment acting on it. Generally we design the columns to resist the axial compression load. Slenderness ratio can also be defined as the ratio of effective length of the column to the minimum radius of gyration. It is also a measure of the structural vulnerability to the failure of the structure. It is the ratio of effective length and lateral dimension of the compression member. ![]() Slenderness ratio is a geometrical parameter, defined for a compression member (column). This difference in behavior can be explained by the concept of slenderness ratio – the taller rod has a higher slenderness ratio, making it more prone to bending, while the shorter rod has a lower slenderness ratio, making it more resistant to bending.
