  1. In Tables 5, 6 and 7:
  2. –  Item 1: calculations of columns, based on the formulae applied as per EN-1995 Eurocode 5 [4]
  3. –  Items 2, 3, 4, 5: calculations with the formulae based on the theory presented in Timoshenko and Gere [3], where:
  4.     2: Calculations of columns with timber gussets
  5.     3: Calculations of columns with plywood gussets
  6.     4: Calculations of columns with chipboard gussets
  7.     5: Calculations of columns with fiberboard gussets
  8. \(V_{p}^{a}\) – maximum shear force, caused by compressive force P, for a column with its initial curvature described with a sinusoid
  9.        \(V_{p}^{e}\) – maximum shear force, caused by compressive force P, for a column, where force P acts on eccentric e
  10.        \(V_{p,\max }^{a}\) – maximum shear force a column can carry, for a column with its initial curvature described with a sinusoid
  11.        \(V_{p,\max }^{e}\) – maximum shear force a column can carry, for a column, where force P acts on eccentric e
