The motive of a structural engineer is to design a structure that can withstand its demand throughout the life span. A compressive member is primarily designed to carry axial loading but it always has a possibility to fail due to bending. Here, different stresses of compression members have been observed with different effective lengths, following the Indian code of limit state methods of steel structures. As per the present Indian scenario, different sections of universal columns, which are available in the Indian market, has been taken for its high strength and variety. The designed tables and graphs are prepared for finding the capacity of cross section with various effective lengths which will be beneficial for the designer. In this paper, no attempt has been made to consider complete structure and the overall analysis of the building. Euro code and AISC code are compared with which are then preceded by a comprehensive set of explanatory notes. In this study, attempt has been made, to prepare a practical guide to the compression member are focusing on buckling stress and other stresses.
