Q. Euler’s formula is not valid for mild steel column when the slenderness ratio is

A
More than 80
B
More than 120
C
Less than 80
D
More than 30
Solution:
  • Euler’s Theory of Columns states that a column behaves to resist buckling.
  • It stated that the end condition of the columns and flexural rigidity influence buckling.
  • Therefore, Euler’s Theory of Columns can be used to calculate the buckling load of the column
  • It is one of the limitations of Euler’s formula that it is not valid for mild steel when the slenderness ratio is less than 80.
