The hoop stress σs is usually zero but may be caused, in closed sec
tion beams, by internal pressure. Although we have specified that t
may vary with s, this variation is small for most thin-walled structu
res so that we may reasonably make the approximation that t is
constant over the length δs. Also, from Eq. (1.4), we deduce that :
τzs =τsz =τ say.

The direct stresses σz and σs produce direct strains εz and εs, whi
le the shear stress τ induces a shear strain γ(=γzs =γsz). We shall
now proceed to express these strains in terms of the three compo
nents of the displacement of a point in the section wall (see Fig.
17.2). Of these components vt is a tangential displacement in the
xy plane and is taken to be positive in the direction of increasing
s; vn is a normal displacement in the xy plane and is positive out-

The open section beam of arbitrary section shown in Fig. 17.5 su-
pports shear loads Sx and Sy such that there is no twisting of the
beam cross-section. For this condition to be valid the shear loads
must both pass through a particular point in the cross-section
known as the shear centre.
Since there are no hoop stresses in the beam the shear flows and

The origin for our system of reference axes coincides with the
centroid of the section at the mid-point of the web. From anti
symmetry we also deduce by inspection that the shear centre
occupies the same position. Since Sy is applied through the shear
centre then no torsion exists and the shear flow distribution is
given by Eq. (17.14) in which Sx =0, i.e.

We note in Eq. (iv) that the shear flow is not zero when s2 = 0 but
equal to the value obtained by inserting s1 = h/2 in Eq. (iii), i.e. q2
= 0.42Sy/h. Integration of Eq. (iv) yields

This is the length of a pin-ended column that would have the same
critical load as that of a column of length l, but with different end
conditions. The determination of critical load and stress is carried
out in an identical manner to that for the pin-ended column except
that the boundary conditions are different in each case. Table 8.1
gives the solution in terms of effective length for columns having a
variety of end conditions. In addition, the boundary conditions refe
rred to the coordinate axes of Fig. 8.2 are quoted. The last case in
Table 8.1 involves the solution of a transcendental equation; this is
most readily accomplished by a graphical method.
Example 8.1
A uniform column of length L and flexural stiffness EI is simply
supported at its ends and has an additional elastic support at
midspan. This support is such that if a lateral displacement vc
occurs at this point a restoring force kvc is generated at the point.
Derive an equation giving the buckling load of the column. If the
buckling load is 4π2EI/L2 find the value of k. Also if the elastic su
pport is infinitely stiff show that the buckling load is given by the
equation tan λL/2=λL/2 where λ= √ P/EI.
