Learning Goal:

To determine the maximum allowable axial force applied to a cylindrical column by four different support connections: pinned at both ends, fixed at one end and free at the other, fixed at both ends, and pinned at one end and fixed at the other.

The cylindrical steel column shown is subjected to an axial force $P$ at both its ends. Let $L=7\mathrm{.}750ft$ and $d=9\mathrm{.}750in.$ Assume $E=29000$ksi and $Y=35\mathrm{.}00$ksi for the material used. $($Figure $1)$
