Equivalent length of of column ??
A Mild steel column has a cross section of 100 mm by 50 mm . Assuming a safety factor of 6 calculate the load that it can safely support?
Rankines formula : W = Oc/K[1+a(AEe^2/I]
My problem is with Ee = Equivalent length of column in millimetres
How do I find this value as the question does not give a length?
Thanks for any advice
