DESIGN CONSIDERATION OF STRUCTURE
Stability of Equilibrium:
As the loads acting on the structure are increased, when
does the equilibrium state become unstable?
The equilibrium state becomes unstable due to:
Large deformations of the structure
Inelasticity of the structural materials

CRITICAL LOAD OF COLUMNS
The critical load of as slender bar (columns) subjected to axial
compression is that value of the axial load that is just sufficient
to keep the bar a slightly deflected configuration.

RANKIN-GORDON FORMULA
Euler formula is only suitable for the slender columns with
small imperfections. In practice, most of the intermediate
columns fail due to the combined effect of compression and
flexure and experimentally obtained results are much less than
the Euler prediction.
Gordon suggested an empirical formula based on the
experimental results to predict the load of intermediate
columns, which was further modified by Rankin.
According to Rankin intermediate columns/members fail due
to buckling and compression to more or less degree and load
carrying capacity of such member can be calculated as
following.
