The type of formula obtained is known as an interaction formula.
We note that, when M 5 0, the use of this formula results in
the design of a centrically loaded column by the method of Sec. 10.6.
On the other hand, when P 5 0, the use of the formula results in
the design of a beam in pure bending by the method of Chap. 4.
When P and M are both different from zero, the interaction formula
results in a design that takes into account the capacity of the member
to resist bending as well as axial loading. In all cases, (s
all
)
centric
will
be determined by using the largest slenderness ratio of the column,
regardless of the plane in which bending takes place.†
When the eccentric load P is not applied in a plane of sym-
metry of the column, it causes bending about both of the principal
axes of the cross section. We recall from Sec. 4.14 that the load P
can then be replaced by a centric load P and two couples repre-
sented by the couple vectors M
x
and M
z
shown in Fig. 10.35. The
interaction formula to be used in this case is

10.7 Design of Columns under an
Eccentric Load
†This procedure is required by all major codes for the design of steel, aluminum, and
timber compression members. In addition, many specifications call for the use of an
additional factor in the second term of Eq. (10.55); this factor takes into account the
additional stresses resulting from the deflection of the column due to bending.
EXAMPLE 10.05
Use the interaction method to determine the maximum load P that can
be safely supported by the column of Example 10.04 with an eccentricity
of 0.8 in. The allowable stress in bending is 24 ksi.
The value of (s
all
)
centric
has already been determined in Example
10.04. We have
s

centric
5 19.79 ksi
s
