>It depends on the geometric stability of the column shape, which is why I said what I said.
What you said was like 99% completely false.
>that compressive stress limits are much lower in steel than tensile
No they are not.

I never acknowledge that. Your lack of understanding in what column buckling is doesn't change anything. Unironically, you should ask chatgpt, it can probably give you a high level explanation that is more compatible with your understanding of physics than what I can give you.
Buckling is a stability problem, not a resistance problem. The compressive stress resistance is literally not part of the formulas that we use to verify it. The column could have 100 MPa, 350 MPA, or 359918 MPa compressive resistance and it would change nothing when it comes to buckling. Only the elastic modulus and the physical shape of the column (length, inertia, etc.) is relevant for buckling verification.
>And bucking within the column (and/or the resistance too it) is primarily resisted by tensile strength.
Than please explain to me why we don't need the tensile (or compressive) resistance of the material to know the buckling resistance of the column. I really want to hear that one.
