The ratio of equivalent length of a column having both ends fixed, to its length is:
Answer: C
For both ends fixed the ratio is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
Effective length is the length of an equivalent pin-ended column that buckles at the same load. With both ends fixed, the column bends between two points of contraflexure a quarter length from each end, so the effective length is \(L/2\).
A ratio of 2 belongs to a column fixed at one end and free at the other, \(1/\sqrt{2}\) to one fixed at one end and hinged at the other, and \(\sqrt{2}\) is not a standard case.
