Design for Column and Plate Buckling The critical buckling load for a long slender column was previously obtained (see A10 and A11) by solving the governing differential equation of equilibrium and is given by: where c is a constant depending upon the end conditions: clamped-free: c=0.25 pinned-pinned: c=1 clamped-pinned: c=2 clamped-clamped: c=4 Equation can be written as a critical buckling stress, and can also be put in terms of a non-dimensional ratio called slenderness ratio as follows. The critical buckling stress is simply: The term (A/I) is related to the radius
