Effective Length of Column given Crippling Load and Rankine's Constant evaluator uses Effective Column Length = sqrt((Column Crushing Stress*Column Cross Sectional Area/Crippling Load-1)*(Least Radius of Gyration Column^2)/Rankine's Constant) to evaluate the Effective Column Length, The Effective Length of Column given Crippling Load and Rankine's Constant formula is defined as a measure of the reduced length of a column that takes into account the crippling load and Rankine's constant, providing a more accurate representation of the column's behavior under compressive loads in structural analysis. Effective Column Length is denoted by Leff symbol.
