Abstrak. Tujuan utama penggunaan tiang adalah untuk mengagihkan beban dengan cara tindakan
mampatan. Daya mampatan tiang bergantung kepada beberapa faktor. Antara yang paling penting
ialah panjang efektif, luas keratan, kekuatan bahan, sambungan pada kedua-dua hujungnya dan juga
rembatan pada paksi lenturannya. Kertas kerja ini membincangkan keupayaan mampatan tiang
cruciform. Tiang cruciform juga dikenali sebagai tiang gabungan, terdiri daripada dua keratan rasuk
semesta di mana satu keratan rasuk semesta dikerat di tengah keratan dan dikimpal pada satu keratan
rasuk semesta lain. Jadual keupayaan mampatan telah dihasilkan untuk pelbagai jenis saiz tiang
dengan panjang efektif yang berbeza. Semua pengiraan untuk jadual keupayaan mampatan adalah
merujuk kepada BS 5950-1:2000. Daripada kajian ini, didapati bahawa kekuatan mampatan tiang
bertambah dengan pertambahan jejari legaran. Kajian ini dapat menyimpulkan bahawa penggunaan
tiang cruciform mengurangkan jumlah berat tiang sebanyak 35% apabila dibandingkan dengan tiang
universal dan 60% apabila dibandingkan dengan rasuk universal.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Columns are generally referred to as vertical compression members that support floors
or roofs in structural frames. In many cases, such members are subjected to both axial
and bending effects. In practice, most columns generally fail due to either local buckling
or overall buckling or the combination of both. For short column, the failure is usually
due to local buckling where the mode of failure is known as squashing. However,
slender column normally fails at elastic critical loads which usually located at the midlength of the column with curved shape type of failure. In practice, however, the mode
of failure usually encountered in the design of column is within the range of these two
conditions. The mode of failure does not only depend on the length of the column but
also on its cross sectional area that determines the slenderness ratio of the column.
Slenderness is defined as the ratio of column length over minimum radius of gyration.
The compression resistance of the column is therefore, very much dependent on the
effective length and the cross sectional area of the section. A typical column known as
universal column of H-shaped section is usually used in the design of steel column,
but due to the problem of weak axis, the compressive resistance of the column is
greatly reduced. Therefore, cruciform column using universal beam section is
introduced as an alternative section to increase the compressive resistance of the column.
2.0 FORMATION OF CRUCIFORM COLUMN WITH
UNIVERSAL BEAM SECTIONS
Cruciform column is made of two universal beams where one beam is cut at midlength and attached to the other beam by means of a fillet weld, as shown in Figure 1.
This fillet weld should be stronger than the parent materials that are welded together.
In order to achieve this strength, the size of effective weld (i.e. 0.7 multiplied by the
Fillet weld (size depending
on the thickness of the
welded web)

size of weld) should be greater than the thickness of the welded column web. In case
of cruciform column, the weld is usually welded on both sides to form a symmetrical
section. As a result, a cruciform shape is developed so that the value of moment of
inertia in the x-axis and the y-axis is the same. The use of universal beam instead of
universal column section for the formation of the cruciform column section is
recommended due to the geometrical aspects of universal beam. Factors including
greater stiffener on major axis and that adequate space between the beam flanges to
carry out the process of fabrication and installation of the beam to column connection
make the universal beam a better choice.
3.0
One of the main problems in columns is their tendency to buckle. Only short columns
can be easily designed using formula for compressive resistance based on gross cross
section and yield strength. The main problem of the compression member is its
tendency to buckle before it yields even if the column is straight, homogenous, and
centrally loaded. This phenomenon was described in mathematical terms by Leonhard
Euler in 1759 [3]. The elastic critical load or buckling load of an axially compressed
straight column is given by Euler theory as [3]:
PE = 2EI/L2
(1)
(2)
The controlling parameter is therefore, , the slenderness ratio (L/r) of the column,
with the elastic critical stress pE being inversely proportional to the square of the column
slenderness. It follows that there is a certain slenderness 1 at which theoretically, pE =
py, the design strength of steel. This is given by 1 = E / p y . Columns usually have
different second moments of area in different directions (e.g. Ix-x and Iy-y sections).
Therefore, radius of gyration rx and ry may be defined as relevant values in the directions,
parallel and perpendicular to the web (usually the major and minor stiffness directions)
respectively. However, for cruciform column, the Ix-x and Iy-y sections are equal which
also result in the same stiffness in the major and minor axis. According to Euler
JTDIS43B[05].pmd

54
theory, lateral torsional buckling will occur in the y y direction if ry < rx, unless lateral
movement is restrained in this direction. However, this problem will not occur in the
cruciform column, as the axes are symmetrical. The presence of an initial lack of
straightness and/or small eccentricities of loading will mean that the column of struts
will develop lateral deformations gradually rather than as a sudden process. Thus,
yielding will develop from the more heavily compressed regions, leading to a progressive
loss of stiffness. Since the actual magnitude and distribution of factors like initial
deformation and residual compressive stress will vary both between section types
and, to some extent, within different samples of the same section, the actual relationship
between column strength and slenderness will spread over a relatively wide range.
BS 5950 Part 1: 2000 [4] recognizes this by providing four column curves, (see Figure
2), each of which is represented by a modified Perry-Robertson formula as follows [3]:
( pE pC) (py pC) = pE pC

calculated as Pc = Ag pc.

Effective Length
The effective length of a compression member is a function of the actual length between
restraints and the type of restraint provided. The restraint of the column is usually
associated with the type of connection used at the end of the column. The restraint at
the ends of the column will affect the buckling shape of the column (see Table 1)
which therefore, affects the compressive resistance of the column. In Table 1, rigid
joint results in shorter effective length. The smaller the effective length, the higher will
be the compressive resistance of the column. The effective length of columns also
depends on whether the frame is braced or unbraced. For unbraced frame, the effective
length is greater than the braced frame due to the sway behavior of the frame. For

braced frames, the effective length is equal to 1.0 L or less depending on the condition
of end restraints. For end restraint with pinned joint, the effective length is taken as
1.0 L while for fixed joint, the effective length is taken as 0.7 L to 0.85 L as shown in
Table 1. The length (L) used in Table 1 is the distance of the member between two
restraints.
4.0 COLUMN CAPACITY
The column capacity for cruciform section can be calculated from the Perry-Robertson
formula in Equation (4). In accordance to BS 5950: Part 1, sections which have lower
compression resistance are designed using one of the lower curves. As for the cruciform
column, the formation is based on a combination of two universal beams. This
combination will give rise to stiffer member compared to a single universal beam and
universal column as a column. Therefore, the constant used in the Perry-Robertson is
taken as 2.0, which is the upper bound value for the calculation of compression resistance
of columns. The actual process of design, therefore, consists of the following steps:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Since this is a trial method, therefore, to utilise the use of cruciform column in the
design, tables of compression capacity are produced (please refer to Tables 2(a to d)).
These tables consist of the compression capacity for cruciform column with steel grade
S275 fully stressed by axial load only for different effective lengths. With these tables,
the design for axially loaded column can be easily done by just comparing the required
compression capacity of a cruciform section that has been established in the tables.
4.1 Discussions on the Compression Capacity Tables
The compression capacity tables are best presented by listing the size of the beam
used together with the effective length of the column as shown in Tables 2(a) to 2(d).
The values given are calculated based on the design strength of S 275 steel grade with
the effective lengths ranging from 2.0 to 14.0 m, for the size of beam ranging from
Cruciform Column Universal Beam(hereafter referred to as CCUB) 1016 305 974
to CCUB 610 305 149. For smaller beams with size ranging from CCUB 610 229
140 to CCUB 127 76 13, the effective lengths are ranged from 1.0 to 7.0 m. From
the tables, the results show that the compression capacity of the CCUB is constant at a

certain effective length of the column. This is because the slenderness ratio of the
CCUB sections at certain length is less or equal to the 0 so that the compressive
strength pc is equal to py. The compression capacities values are then gradually reduced
in a non-linear manner in accordance with the predicted graph as shown in Figure 2.
The compression capacity decreases as the effective length increases. The reduction
of the compression capacity is not drastically reduced, as the stiffness of the cruciform
column is higher than the UB or the UC sections. As the effective length increases, the
slenderness ratio of the column increases and the overall buckling effect (lateral
deformations) started to control the compression capacity.
5.0 COMPARISON BETWEEN CCUB, UB AND UC SECTIONS
To investigate the effectiveness of cruciform column, a comparison was made between
cruciform column, UB and UC sections for the compression capacities ranging from
3000 to 5000 kN. The compression capacities for different hot-rolled sections with
cruciform columns under various load case with various effective lengths have been
studied in order to compare the effectiveness in percentage of weight savings. The
results of the calculation are summarized in Tables 3(a) to 3(c). The purpose of the
case study is to test the capacity of different sections to determine which section will
contribute less self weight. From the tables, the use of CCUB sections have reduced
the steel weight by up to 35.44% as compared with UC sections and up to 59.68% as
compared with UB sections. These results show that the use of CCUB section has
significantly increased the compression capacity of the column with the same mass of
steel. The results also show that the percentage saving in steel starts to be reduced as
the required axial load increases. This is probably due to the size of UB and UC
which gets larger and stiffer than the size of column designed for lesser load capacity.

This result shows that the cruciform column is one of the best alternative sections
available to be used in the design of column for high-rise building where heavy
compression load is needed as the largest size of UC and CHS have limited compression
capacity as shown in Figure 3. The symmetrical axis for the cruciform column will
enhance the compression resistance and the fabrication of the beam-to column
connection which results in added advantages compared with other sections.
7.0 CONCLUSION
Conclusions of the study on compression capacity of cruciform column under axial
load are as follows:Cruciform column (1016 x 305 x 974)
