(
Le : Effective Length) The Euler buckling load is the load for which an ideal column will first have an equilibrium deflected shape.
Mathematically, it is the eigenvalue in the solution to Euler’s differential equation
The “ultimate load” Pult is the maximum load that a column can carry.
It depends on
initial eccentricity of the column, eccentricity of the load
transverse load, end condition,
in-elastic action, residual stress.
Pult of a practical column is less than PE
Buckling - the sudden transition to a deflected shape - only occurs in the case of "ideal" columns.

Ideal Columns
If the compressive stress exceeds proportional limit even in ideal column
→ Actual buckling load < Euler load
due to the diminished slope of the stress-strain curve.
For an ideal column (no eccentricity or residual stress) buckling will occur at the tangent modulus load, given by
( E
t: tangent modulus,
the slope of the stress-stain curve corresponding to P
t/A)
Since Et depends on Pt modulusthe calculation of Ptis generally an iterative process.
It is more convenient to deal in terms of stress rather than load
→ The effects of yielding and residual stress to be included.

Residual Stress-Rolled Sections
The uneven cooling between Residual stresses will result after the cooling because of the non-uniform temperature distribution through the cross section during the cooling process at ambient temperature.

may commence yielding when applied stress = σY - σr
→ particularly detrimental because it occurs in the flange tips.
The material is no longer homogeneous, and the simple tangent modulus approach is no longer valid.
A comparatively simple solution can be achieved for the buckling strength in the primary direction by assuming an elastic-perfectly plastic stress-strain relationship.
The progressive loss of bending stiffens is linearly proportional to the extent of the yielded zone → the use of an average value of tangent modulus.

The extent of the tension yield zone (3~6 times thickness) depends mainly on the total heat input, the cross-sectional area of the weld deposit, the type of welding and the welding sequence

For narrow thick sections residual stress will be high, and this will seriously diminish the strength of the section.
It should be noted that
the effect will be much worse for open sections than for box sections due to the tensile stress at corners of box sections.
flame-cutting creates conditions similar to welding → high tensile residual stress is beneficial.
the effect of residual stress is somewhat diminished for higher yield steels due to narrower tension zone.

Perry-Robertson Formula
It adopts Robertson`s value for α and assumes that the column will collapse when the maximum compressive stress reaches the yield stress.
It is a quadratic, and may be rewritten in a nondimensional, factored form where R is the strength ratio of the column
η is the eccentricity ratio
λ is the column slenderness parameter
For a perfectly straight column, having η=0, reduces to the Euler curve, , providing that λ>1.
