Effective Column Length in Load and Resistance Factor Design for Buildings 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 behavior 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.
