Effective Column Length in Allowable Stress Design Formulas
Effective Column Length of a column is the length of an equivalent pin-ended column that has the same load-carrying capacity and buckling behaviour as the actual column with different end conditions. And is denoted by l. Effective Column Length is usually measured using the Millimeter for Length. Note that the value of Effective Column Length is always positive.

FAQ
What is the Effective Column Length?
Effective Column Length of a column is the length of an equivalent pin-ended column that has the same load-carrying capacity and buckling behaviour as the actual column with different end conditions. Effective Column Length is usually measured using the Millimeter for Length. Note that the value of Effective Column Length is always positive.
Can the Effective Column Length be negative?
No, the Effective Column Length, measured in Length cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Effective Column Length?
Effective Column Length is usually measured using the Millimeter[mm] for Length. Meter[mm], Kilometer[mm], Decimeter[mm] are the few other units in which Effective Column Length can be measured.
