A Simple, Practical Method for the Experimental Determination of the End Fixity of a Column

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0875710 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The question of column end fixity is critically reconsidered. An effective method for determination is established. This method relies upon the fact that there exists a readily determined point in the span of the column for which the deflection due to a given side force is maximum. The product of the coefficient which defines the flexibility at this point and the Euler load appropriate to the actual end conditions is, to all intents and purposes, constant.
