Slenderness ratio of a column is represented as :
-
- Effective length/Cross-sectional area
- Effective length/Radius of gyration
- Actual length/Cross-sectional area
- Actual length/Radius of gyration
Correct Option: B
| Slenderness Ratio = | ||
| Radius of gyration |
Slenderness ratio is the ratio of the length of a column and the least radius of gyration of its cross section. Often denoted by lambda. It is used extensively for finding out the design load as well as in classifying various columns in short/ intermediate/long.
