Short Column: 0< Le / r < 60.
Intermediate Column: 60< Le / r <120.
Long Column: 120< Le / r < 300.

Le/r is called slenderness ratio. If it is > 120 it is called long beam. But mostly > 100 is preferred as long beam.

Slenderness ratio for long column:- More than 120.

Slenderness ratio for Medium column:- Slenderness ratio lies between 32 to 120.

Slenderness ratio for short column:- Less than 32.

Slenderness Ratio Below 32 is Short Column.

Slenderness Ratio From 32 to 100 is Medium Column.

Slenderness Ratio Above 100 is Long Column.

Answer is wrong it should be medium.

Length of column to the least radius of gyration is greater than & equal to 100 is called as long column.

For steel if slenderness ratio > 80 then it is long column and then only Eulers formula can be applied. If slenderness ratio < 80 it is short column and Eulers formula can't be applied.

SR<50 short column.
SR>115 long column.
50<SR<115 medium column.

SR UPTO 50 - SHORT.
SR 50 - 200 - MEDIUM.
SR MORE THAN 200 - LONG.

UTKARSH said:   10 years ago
SR < 32 SHORT.

SR 32-120 MEDIUM.

AND SR >120 LONG COLUMN.
