Beam specification:

Length : wide*length
Cross Section: mm
Material : Aluminum

Experiment procedure:-

1. The column of length 320mm was placed in the


experimental set-up.
2. Load was gradually applied.

Strut Length Buckling Load


mm N
320 mm -13 N
370 mm -10 N
420 mm -7 N
470 mm -6 N
520 mm -4 N

3. The buckling load was recorded when the column or


strut begin buckle.

Result:-
The experimental data were shown in the table-1

Curve:-
Strut length (mm)

Conclusion:-
Buckling load is linearly variable. We can conclude that when the strut
(aluminum column) length is increased then the buckling load of strut is
decreased.
