Q: Common hot-rolled steel members carrying axial compression usually fail by
  • A. crushing in compression
  • B. flexural buckling
  • C. torsional buckling
  • D. shear
Correct Answer: Option B - Imperfections in a compression member– • Common hot rolled and built up steel memebrs used for carrying axial compression usually fail by flexural buckling. • The buckling strength of these members is affected by residual stresses, and accidental eccentricities of load. • To account for all these factors the strength of member subjected to axial compression is defined by buckling class a, b, c, d are given table 7 in IS 800 : 2007.
