critical buckling load

Isaac Kremer/ November 23, 2025/ / 0 comments

The maximum axial load that can theoretically be applied to a column without causing it to buckle. The critical buckling load for a column is inversely proportional to the square of its effective length, and directly proportional to the modulus of elasticity of the material and to the moment of inertia of the cross section. Also called Euler buckling load. (Ching, 1995)
