Members, such as columns, which are by their nature subjected to compression load, might experience deflection perpendicular to axial deflection of the member and therefore failure. This structural failure is known as buckling and might happen even if the compression strength of the material be larger than applied compression force. Euler in 1757 developed a mathematical formula for maximum buckling capacity of a member. He presented the maximum load that a member can carry before failure due to buckling as a function of the length, moment of inertia of the cross section, modulus of elasticity of material and the fixity conditions of the member. Mostly, civil engineering students learn about the theory of buckling in the spring of their sophomore year in Statics II course. Static II course is combined with two hours weekly laboratory session. In this laboratory course different modes of failure of members such as failure due to tension, compression, shear and torsion load is demonstrated. As failure due to buckling is a very common type of failure in columns, there is an essential need to include a buckling test in the syllabus for Statics II laboratory. This paper explains the step by step design and building of a load frame which will specifically be used for conducting buckling tests. Force and displacement data will be measured simultaneously during the buckling test, and three different fixing conditions (fixed, pinned and free) at each end of the specimen can be applied to demonstrate the effect of member connection in buckling capacity of the member. This load frame can be used in the lab in spring, or at its latest summer 2019, in the laboratory sessions and can play a big role in explaining the concept of buckling to civil engineering students.
