Abstract
Based on an idealized model of a homogeneous, isotropic beam-column, the second stiffest axis under static loading was derived. The maximum allowable force for the second stiffest axis was then examined. The ratio of the maximum allowable forces of the second stiffest axis to the stiffest axis was established. The stiffness ratio of the second stiffest axis to the stiffest axis was also found. Taking buckling into consideration, the safe load region for all possible acting directions was derived. The implications of the idealized model for cervical spine trauma are discussed.
