MITCalc Slender strut (column) buckling

Slender strut (column) buckling

The program is designed to calculate the optimum cross-section and perform strength check of slender struts strained for buckling. The program includes:

• Selection of six basic types of buckling.
• Calculation of area characteristics of 20 types of cross-sections.
• Design of optimum profile accommodating the set load.
• Strength check of the strut.
• Calculation and graphical representation of permitted stress dependent on slenderness rate.
• A table of materials and a table of area characteristics of W, S, C and L profiles according to ANSI/AISC and I, U, L and T profiles according to DIN/ISO.

The calculation is based on data, procedures, algorithms (Johnson, Tetmajer, Euler, Secant) and data from specialized literature and AISC, ISO, DIN and BS standards.
