SECTIONS DESIGN OF COMPRESSION MEMBERS 5.1 Axial Stresses in Uncased Strats 5.1.1 The direct stress in compression on the gross sectional area of axially loaded compression members shall not exceed 0°67, nor the per- missible stress Gg, calculated He the following formula: 600 OE aI where Coo — permissible stress in axial compression, in MPs; Sy = yield stress of stec!, in MPa; See = elastic critical stress in compression, = "=; E = modulus of elasticity of steel; 2 x 105 MPa; A (= Ir) = slenderness ratio of the member, ratio of the effective length.to appropriate radius of gyration; and n = a factor assumed as 1:4, ‘Values of Gg for some: of the Jagian Standard structural steels are given in Table 5.1 for convenience.
