A tall vessel/column may bulk fail when the applicd normal compressive stress 

A tall vessel/column may bulk fail when the applicd normal compressive stress exceeds a critical stress criterion depending on cnds support ccnditions. A 200 mm x 200 mm x 5 mm hollow box steel section column is 5 m long, fixed at one end and pinned at the other. For steel modulus of clasticity at 200 GPa and moment of inertia at 24.73 x 10 m, calculate the critical stress with a factor of safety of 2,5 [12 marks] [Data: Critical load, PCR E/(KL)*]
