JOB # 8 TO DETERMINE ELASTIC CRITICAL LOAD AND INITIAL IMPERFECTION OF A PIN ENDED COLUMN USING SOUTHWELL PLOT TECHNEIQUE

. PURPOSE :
To determine initial imperfection of a column by load deformation observation . To determine elastic critical load of a column without loaded it upto critical stage .

APPARATUS :
Pin Ended Column With Some Initial Imperfection 2000ton Shamadzu UTM Vernier Caliper Steel Tape Deflection Gauge

RELATED THEORY

SOLUTION OF SELENDER COLUMN

INITIALLY STRAIGHT COLUMN

Pcr =
COLUMN WITH INITIAL IMPERFACTION . Perrys equation Southwell plot techneique
