Buckling of Frames and Effective Length

Review Euler buckling, tell braced non-sway frames from unbraced sway frames, build the joint stiffness ratio G, read the alignment charts for the effective length factor K, compute the critical load of a column in a frame, and note inelastic buckling, each worked to a number with units.
