Compression member:
- A compression member is a structural member which is straight and subjected to two equal and opposite compressive forces applied at its ends.
Assumptions made while designing a compression member (or column):
- The ideal column is assumed to be absolutely straight having no crookedness, which never occurs in practice.
- The modulus of elasticity is assumed to be constant in a built-up column.
- Secondary stresses(which may be of the order of even 25%-40% of primary stresses) are neglected.
