A rolled ISHB 250 section (depth = 250 mm, the width of flange = 250 mm, the thickness of web = 8.8 mm, the thickness of flange = 9.7 mm) is used to as a compression member. Considering the buckling about the Y-Y axis as per IS 800: 2007, the corresponding buckling class to which the beam belongs to is:
1
b
