A perfectly straight member of linear elastic material is shown if figure.
The above member has a friction less hinge at each end, its lower end being fixed
in position while its upper end is free to move vertically but prevented from
deflecting horizontally. It is assumed that the deflections of the member remain
small.

FAQs on Short Notes: Compression Members - Short Notes for Civil Engineering - Civil Engineering (CE)
| 1. What are compression members in structural engineering? |  |
Ans. Compression members in structural engineering are structural elements that are primarily subjected to axial compressive forces. They are designed to resist the compressive loads and maintain their stability under such loads.
| 2. What are the common types of compression members used in construction? | |
Ans. The common types of compression members used in construction include columns, beams, trusses, and struts. These members are designed to withstand the compressive forces and provide support to the overall structure.
| 3. How are compression members designed and analyzed in structural engineering? | |
Ans. Compression members are designed and analyzed in structural engineering using various methods, such as Euler's formula, Rankine's formula, and Perry-Robertson formula. These methods consider factors like material properties, cross-sectional dimensions, and boundary conditions to ensure the stability and strength of the compression members.
| 4. What factors affect the design of compression members? | |
Ans. Several factors affect the design of compression members, including the material properties, cross-sectional dimensions, slenderness ratio, end conditions, and applied loads. These factors determine the maximum compressive load a member can withstand without failure.
| 5. How can compression members be strengthened to increase their load-carrying capacity? | |
Ans. Compression members can be strengthened to increase their load-carrying capacity by adding reinforcement, using thicker sections, increasing the cross-sectional area, or providing additional support through bracing or stiffeners. These strengthening techniques help to improve the stability and strength of the compression members.
