The roof beams of a warehouse are supported by pipe columns (see figure) having an outer diameter d2= 100 mm and inner diameter d2, = 90mm. The columns have a length L = 4.0 m, modulus E = 210 GPa, and fixed supports at the base. Calculate the critical load Pcrof one of the columns using the following assumptions: (a) the upper end is pinned and the beam prevents horizontal displacement; (b) the upper end is fixed against rotation and the beam prevents horizontal displacement; (c) the upper end is pinned, but the beam is free to move horizontally; and (d) the upper end is fixed against rotation, but the beam is free to move horizontally.
