Abstract

The elastic critical load for a non-prismatic member is derived using the equations of the modified stability functions for a wide range of tapering ratio having rectangular and square cross sectional shapes bent about the major axis and any other solid cross sectional shape tapered in depth only. The effective length of members at any support conditions is obtained with respect to the hinged-hinged supports. The elastic critical load is obtained by using the finite elements method as an approximate solution to verify the results. This study can be used as a reference to obtain the elastic critical load and effective length of columns.
