                  From Eq. @.lo), the maximum bending moment at x = - may be obtained as follows:
                                                             2
                                                                                      (8.1 1)

                  The maximum stress in the cross section where x = - is:
                                                          2
                             ', MMAX
                       OMM: =-                                                        (8.12)
                             A    W
                  Eq. (8.12) may be rewritten as follows:

                                                                                      (8.13)


                  where,
                        W     = Section modulus
                        A     = Area of the cross section
                        C     = Distance from the neutral axis to the extreme fiber
                        r     = Radius of gyration of the cross section
                                                  W
                        S     = Radius of the core:  s = -

                  By taking the first term of the Fourier expansion

                                      - + ......

                       P-P,      PE
                  we obtain:
                       --    -1+-  P                                                  (8.14)

                  Combining Eq. (8.14) and Eq. (8.13), the maximum stress is given by:

                                                                                      (8.15)

                  A simple method to derive the ultimate strength of a column is to equate oMAX Eq. (8.12) to
