| S. No. | Member | Maximum Effective Slenderness Ratio (KL/r) |
| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| (i) | A member carrying compressive loads resulting from dead loads and imposed loads | 180 |
| (ii) | A tension member in which a reversal of direct stress occurs due to loads other than wind or seismic forces | 180 |
| (iii) |
A member subjected to compression forces resulting only from combination with wind/earthquake actions, provided the deformation of such member does not adversely affect the stress in any part of the structure |
250 |
| (iv) | Compression flange of a beam against lateral torsional buckling | 300 |
| (v) | Members always under tension (other than pre-tensioned members) | 400 |
