Design buckling resistance of a compression member

To determine the design column buckling resistance Nb,Rd, the reduction
factor for the relevant buckling curve must be defined. This factor is
determined by calculation of the non-dimensional slenderness based on the
elastic critical force for the relevant buckling mode and the cross sectional
resistance to normal forces.
Elastic critical force for the relevant buckling mode Ncr
The critical force may be calculated from the following expression :
N cr, y =

N cr,z =
2 EI y

E is the Youngs modulus :
L is the buckling length in the buckling plane considered: Lcr,y = 10,50 m
