Summary

This section focuses on column buckling theory for several different loading conditions. They include classical column buckling, eccentric column buckling, and multiload column buckling. It begins with a discussion of conventional beam bending because it is the foundation upon which buckling theory is developed. The discussion here is by no means exhaustive, but is meant to provide insight into the fundamental mechanics underlying buckling theory.
