What is Compressive Axial Load?
A Compressive Axial Load is a force applied along the axis of a structural element, such as a column, beam, or strut, which tends to shorten or compress the member. It is a type of load that acts uniformly in the same direction as the longitudinal axis of the element, resulting in compressive stresses throughout the material. This load causes the member to reduce in length, and if the load is high enough, it can lead to failure by crushing, buckling, or other modes of compressive failure.
How to Calculate Compressive Axial Load for Strut with Axial and Transverse Point Load at Center?
Compressive Axial Load for Strut with Axial and Transverse Point Load at Center calculator uses Column Compressive Load = -(Bending Moment in Column+(Greatest Safe Load*Distance of Deflection from end A/2))/(Deflection at Column Section) to calculate the Column Compressive Load, The Compressive Axial Load for Strut with Axial and Transverse Point Load at Center formula is defined as the maximum load that a strut can withstand when subjected to both compressive axial thrust and a transverse point load at its center, providing a critical value for structural integrity and stability analysis. Column Compressive Load is denoted by Pcompressive symbol.
