Plastic analysis of prismatic compression members in
buildings is permitted if (Fy)(l/r) does not exceed 800
and Fuless than equal to 65 ksi (448 MPa). For axially
loaded members with b/t less than equal to (lambda) r ,
the maximum load P u , ksi (MPa= 6.894 X ksi), may be
computed from
Pu = 0.85AgFcr
Where Ag=gross cross-sectional area of the member
F cr =0.658 lambda Fy for lambda <= 2.25
=0.877 Fy/lambda for lambda > 2.25
lambda =(Kl/r)2(Fy/286,220)
The AISC specification for LRFD presents formulas for
designing members with slender elements.
