Buckling of ColumnsSaturday, April 24, 2010. Buckling of Columns - Mechanics of Materials. A long and slender beam that is subjected to a compressive(axial) force. Deflection in a column. Will occur about the centroidal principle axes of the cross section where the moment of inertia is the least. A columns critical load is the maximum compressive load that it can support without buckling. Any additional load will cause buckling. Good column designs are circular tubes. Also, other shapes with I x. Pi) 2 EI / L 2. KL and is ...
