The effective length factor K depends on the boundary conditions of the column. For a column with one end fixed and the other end hinged, the K value is 0.7.
Additional InformationEffective Length Factors (K) for Different Boundary Conditions:
-
Both ends fixed (K = 0.5): The column is well supported at both ends, so the effective length is reduced.
-
Both ends pinned (K = 1.0): The column can rotate freely at both ends, leading to no reduction in effective length.
-
One end fixed and the other free (K = 2.0): A free end increases the effective length, making the column more prone to buckling.
-
One end fixed and the other hinged (K = 0.7): This combination provides some resistance at one end, while allowing rotation at the other, so the effective length is reduced compared to a fully pinned column but not as much as a fully fixed column.
