Prestressed Stayed Columns Buckling Load

This function, determines elastic buckling load of prestressed stayed steel columns.

This function, determines elastic buckling load of prestressed stayed steel columns. the inputs are geometrical dimensions of core/main column, cross-arm and stayed system. This functions plots elastic buckling curves for symmetric and antisymmetric buckling modes. For more information about analytical methods for determining critical buckling load and ultimate capacity of stayed column please read below paper:
