A slender member refers to a structural component that has a long and narrow shape, typically characterized by its length being much greater than its cross-sectional dimensions. These members are often used in construction to support loads while minimizing weight and material use. Examples of slender members include beams, columns, and trusses. Due to their shape, slender members can be susceptible to buckling and require careful engineering to ensure they can safely carry the loads they are designed to support. Proper design and placement are essential for maintaining the stability and strength of slender members in a structure.
