The buckling length of steel frames columns has a direct effect on the cost (weight) of using cross section. A new formula is required to determine buckling length factor (K) by simplified way. In this research a new formula for buckling length factor (K) was established to determine by accurate method for a limited interval of columns ends rigidity (GA, GB). The new formula can be used ease to evaluate the buckling length factor without needing to complicated equations or difficult charts.}, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {1}, year = {2012}, pages = {42 - 52}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9830}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/61}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 61, 2012}, }
