  • Quote from the above link: “Shared critical force! This is the fun part. All of the parts of the column will buckle “at once”. Regardless of the cross-sections all of the column components will always have a shared critical force. This is because the column fails as a team, so the weakest link decides. Simply put, you can’t buckle a “part” of the column. The column will always fail due to buckling as a “whole” from support to support (or from bracing node to bracing node if you wish).”
