This document provides information on designing structural steel elements according to Indian standard IS 800-2007. It discusses buckling curves (a, b, c or d) that define the stress reduction factor χ for different cross-section types based on their imperfection factor α. The imperfection factor depends on the cross-section shape, direction of buckling, and fabrication process. Curve a represents quasi-perfect hot-rolled sections buckling perpendicular to their major axis. Curve b represents sections with medium imperfections like welded boxes and some hot-rolled I-sections. Curve c represents sections with many imperfections such as channels, angles, cold-formed sections, and some hot-rolled I-sections.

Classification of Sections under different buckling class: Buckling curves (a, b, c or d)


are shown in Fig.7. These give the value for the stress reduction factor χ of the resistance
of the column as a function of the reference slenderness for different kinds of cross-
sections (referred to different values of the imperfection factor α)

Fig 7: Cantilever Column subjected to compressive force


The imperfection factor α depends on the shape of the column cross-section considered,
the direction in which buckling can occur (Y axis or Z axis) and the fabrication process
used on the compression member (hot-rolled, welded or cold-formed); values for α,
which increase with the imperfections, are given in Table-7 of IS: 800.
Curve a represents quasi perfect shapes: hot-rolled I-sections (h/b > 1.2) with thin
flanges (tf ≤ 40mm) if buckling is perpendicular to the major axis; it also represents hot-
rolled hollow sections.
Curve b represents shapes with medium imperfections: it defines the behaviour of most
welded box-sections; of hot-rolled I-sections buckling about the minor axis; of welded I-
sections with thin flanges (tf ≤ 40mm) and of the rolled I-sections with medium flanges
(40 < tf ≤ 100mm) if buckling is about the major axis.
Curve c represents shapes with a lot of imperfections: Channel, angle, and T shaped
sections; thick welded box-sections; cold-formed hollow sections designed to the yield
strength of the original sheet; hot-rolled I-sections (h/b ≤ 1.2 and tf ≤100mm) buckling
