CFVR7052 - AASHTO10: Compression Flexural Buckling Checking
Compression Flexural Buckling Checking according to AASHTO10 for a cantilever beam.
A cantilever steel beam is subjected to an axial compression force of 500 kips.
The beam has a length of 21in. The cross section is a W 14x132.
The beam is made of A572Gr50 steel which has a fy of 50 ksi.
The aim of the example is to obtain the compresion flexural buckling criterion according to AASHTO10.
