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 Deflection at Section for Strut Subjected to Compressive Axial and Uniformly Distributed Load?
Deflection at Section for Strut Subjected to Compressive Axial and Uniformly Distributed Load calculator uses Deflection at Section of Column = (-Bending Moment in Column+(Load Intensity*(((Distance of Deflection from End A^2)/2)-(Column Length*Distance of Deflection from End A/2))))/Axial Thrust to calculate the Deflection at Section of Column, The Deflection at Section for Strut Subjected to Compressive Axial and Uniformly Distributed Load formula is defined as a measure of the lateral displacement of a strut under the combined effect of axial compressive force and uniformly distributed transverse load, providing insight into the strut's behavior and stability. Deflection at Section of Column is denoted by δ symbol.
