What is the primary mode of failure in a short column under compressive loading?
52. What is the primary mode of failure in a short column under compressive loading?
- Buckling
- Shear
- Fatigue
- Torsion
Answer
The correct answer is: A) Buckling
Explanation
Short columns primarily fail due to buckling when subjected to compressive loads. The critical load that induces buckling is influenced by the column's length, material properties, and end conditions.
