Basic Steel Design Session L2: Compression Members

The design of columns – compression members, is the focus of this session. The session will review the strength of compression members as defined by the Specification. The session will review steel shapes and their behavior in compression. The session will discuss the limit states of flexural buckling, local buckling, torsional buckling, and flexural-torsional buckling. Members with and without slender elements are reviewed. Design examples will be presented.
