Hi all

I was wondering if anyone could help with determining whether a statement regarding compressive column testing is valid or not.

2 x Columns were loaded compressively (same dimensions), the results revealed:-
Column A has a Eulers Critical Load of 83525N and a Youngs Modulus of 2284N/mm^2
Column B has a Eulers Critical Load of 65493N and a Youngs Modulus of 1791N/mm^2

Would it be correct to say that since column A had a greater Youngs Modulus you would expect column A to also have a greater critical load.

Would this be a valid statement?

Thank you.
