Abstract
Plain channel section columns behave substantially differently under fixed end conditions than they do under pin end conditions, and the "wandering neutral axis" can have a large effect on the pin end case. An existing analytical approach to the pin-end case is outlined, and the implications suggested by this approach for the fixed-end case are briefly described. To investigate the veracity of these implications a detailed finite element investigation was made into fixed-end plain channel columns. Points of interest are the considerations of the wandering neutral axis and the assumption of an effective length, LE equal to one half of the column length. To assist in the clarity of the findings much of the finite element analysis is concentrated on completely elastic columns with minimal imperfections.
