A vertical column fixed at one end is subjected to a compressive axial load at the free end. The column's section modulus, $\text{EI}$, is $9.82 \times 10^{5} \: \mathrm{Nm}^{2}$ and the cross-section area is $7.85 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. The length of the column is $2 \: \mathrm{m}$. The yield stress of the material is $145 \: \mathrm{MPa}$.

If the column can fail either in buckling or by Tresca's criterion, the maximum load that the structure can safely sustain is $\_\_\_\_\_\_ \: \mathrm{kN}$ (rounded off to one decimal place).
