Effective Column Length in Column And Struts Formulas

Effective Column Length can be defined as the length of an equivalent pin-ended column having the same load-carrying capacity as the member under consideration. And is denoted by L_eff. Effective Column Length is usually measured using the Millimeter for Length. Note that the value of Effective Column Length is always negative.
