Long columns: Long columns, which are also called slender columns, when subjected to compression, deflects or bends in a lateral direction as shown in the figure. The lateral deflection of the long column is called buckling.

The lateral deflection of the long column is called buckling.", "Image ImageDescription": "The long column fails when there is excessive buckling .ie when the load on the column exceeds critical load. Critical load denotes the maximum load carrying capacity of the long column. The load carrying capacity of long column depends upon several factors like the length of the column, M.I of its cross\u2013section, Modulus of elasticity of the material, nature of its support, in addition to area of cross section and the crushing strength of the material.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
