When and where short and long columns apply?
Answer:

*In practice, for a given material, the allowable stress in a compression member depends on the slenderness ratio Leff / r and can be divided into three regions: short, intermediate, and long.
Short columns are dominated by the strength limit of the material. Intermediate columns are bounded by the inelastic limit of the member. Finally, long columns are bounded by the elastic limit (i.e. Euler's formula).
