Functions
Effective Length of Column
Effective length of column is the length of an equivalent pin-ended column that has the same load-carrying capacity as the actual column under consideration.
Symbol: Le
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modulus of Elasticity of Column
Modulus of elasticity of column also known as Young’s modulus, is a measure of a material’s stiffness or rigidity which quantifies the relationship between stress and strain.
Symbol: εc
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
