| Abstract: | In this technical note, analytical solutions for the elastic buckling of heavy columns with various combinations of end conditions are derived, for the first time, in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions. The benchmark solutions may be used to assess the accuracy of approximate formulas and numerical solutions. |
