What is slenderness ratio?

Somu said:   1 decade ago
The slenderness ratio means the ratio of effective length to the least radius of gyration on that statement I firmly tell slenderness ratio tells effective length.

What is radius of gyration?

Vishwajeet said:   1 decade ago
Radius of gyration = MI.

i.e mass in to moment of inertia.

What is the value of slenderness ration for short and long columns?

Goutham said:   1 decade ago
It is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to a point mass (of mass, m) that gives an equivalent inertia to the original object (s) (of mass, m).

The nature of the object does not affect the concept, which applies equally to a surface, a bulk mass, or an ensemble of points.

@Shubham.

Less than 80--> short column.

More than 80---> long column.

Jose said:   9 years ago
Slenderness ratio is greater than 12 means long column if it is less than 12 means it is short column.

@Jose.

80 or 12 which is correct?

Karthik said:   8 years ago
I think 120 is correct. Then how it is possible for 80?
