Explain Beam-Columns
1. A specific case of a beam subjected to:
- Axial loading
- Strong axis flexural stress
2. The section is also pinned at both ends permitting rotation of the section and sidesway is prevented.
3. Required strength:
- A function of the applied axial force, with 20% being the limit of interest
- Utilizes a combined stress equation that must be less than or equal to 1.0
