You have to know that the slenderness ratio only takes into account the shape of the column. So because of that, the slenderness ratio is the same for steel, aluminium, wood, etc. The formula KL/r where K is the equivalent length factor, L the length of the column and r the radius of gyration which is sqrt(I/A), should always stay under 200. If not, you must redesign...

What is allowable limit of slenderness ratio in steel?

Slenderness Ratio is Basically a Ratio to decide if the Steel angle being used is acceptable for particular loads or not. There is no such allowable limit of slenderness ratio For a particular angle unless it is designed for a particular load. Slenderness Ratio indicates the buckling of the Steel angle. Less the Slenderness Ration more stronger is the Steel angle. I am an Engineer ( specialised in Towers for Transmission of High Voltages. In Our Case, we use three types of slenderness ratio . For Main Members it Should Be less Than 120 For Bracing etc it should be less than 150 and for redundant members( No load) < 200 Amit Sharma MottMacdonalds limited 00971501257201 amit.sharma@mottmac.co.ae

What is the slenderness ratio of a concrete square piles?

It is the ratio of the effective length of the pile relative to it's radius of gyration of it's cross section. It is usually less or equal to 200. The higher the ratio the weaker or ineffective the strength of the square piles.
