Initial Imperfections

Initial Imperfections is a structural deviation inherent in real columns, distinguished from idealized theoretical models by small geometric irregularities, material inhomogeneities, or eccentricities in loading that preexist prior to the application of critical compressive forces, thereby influencing the buckling behavior and load-carrying capacity.
