- When a steel column is designed for its stability, the slenderness ratio is a crucial parameter.
- The slenderness ratio is defined as the ratio of the length of the column to its least lateral dimension.
- This ratio is important because it helps determine the buckling strength of the column. A higher slenderness ratio indicates a higher tendency for the column to buckle under axial load.
- In mathematical terms, the slenderness ratio (λ) can be expressed as:
- λ = Length / Least Lateral Dimension
- The least lateral dimension is typically the smallest width or diameter of the cross-section of the column.
