THE JACKSON AND MORELAND ALIGNMENT CHARTS

Abstract

The paper explains the method of developing the Jackson and Moreland alignment charts, which are used to determine the effective buckling length of load-bearing elements subjected to compressive loading. The result of the paper is applicable in the fields of calculation and dimensioning of load-bearing structures.
