Combined Axial and Bending Stresses: Beam-Column

This document discusses combined axial and bending stresses in beam-columns. It explains that when a member experiences both axial force and bending moment, the stresses cannot simply be added due to secondary moments caused by axial compression. For small axial compression where ft/Fa is less than 0.15, the member is essentially a beam and a simplified equation can be used without amplification factors to account for second-order effects. Otherwise, moment amplification factors must be included to properly account for these secondary moments.

Chapter 06

Combined Axial
and Bending Stresses
6.1 INTRODUCTION

Members subject to combined axial force and bending moment are called
beam-column. The bending moment can be due to lateral loads or an eccentric
load.

6.2 AXIAL COMPRESSION AND BENDING

When a member is acted upon by these loads, the stresses produced (axial
stress and bending stress) is not added to obtain the combined stresses.
Additional stresses resulting from a secondary moment -(caused by P7tx effect)
must be taken into account, especially when the member' is subject to large
axial compressive force.
The secondary moment are known as secondary-order effects. To account for
this second-order effects, moment amplification factors are used. •

6.2.1 SMALL. AXIAL COMPRESSION (f,/F a 0.15)


An axial compressive load on a beam-column is considered "small" when ft,/ 1';
does not exceed 0.15. Such a member is essentially a beam and a simplified
interaction equation is used without the amplification factors.
