The Critical Load of Varied-Axial-Force Beam-Column Calculated by CDC Method[J]. Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2002, 24(3): 43-46. DOI: 10.11835/j.issn.1674-4764.2002.03.010.
The varied-axial force beam-column is widely used in practice. Unlike the academic method
the numerical method is usually used only to solve its stability problem
but not to give the general answer a series of problems for beam-column. In this paper
firstly
a new conception of dimensionless beam column is presented. Secondly
based on the column deflection curve (CDC) method
the calculation formula for critical load of variable-axial force beam-column is derived. Thirdly
the numerical results under axial symmetric load are derived. Finally
the interaction formula on the critical load of beam-column under concentrated axial load
even distributed axial load and triangular distributed axial load and under these loads acted simultaneously are proposed respectively. The method given in this paper expands the application of CDC.
