Axial Compression, Bending and Hydrostatic Pressure
Tubular members subjected to combined axial compression, bending and
hydrostatic pressure should be designed to satisfy the following requirements
at all cross-sections along their length.

f b
0) and the elastic local buckling strength F xe exceeds the limits
given below, then Equation (3.68) should also be satisfied.
