Which factor primarily determines the magnitude of resultant stress in an unsymmetrical column with eccentric loading?
47. Which factor primarily determines the magnitude of resultant stress in an unsymmetrical column with eccentric loading?
- Length of the column
- Material properties of the column
- Magnitude of eccentricity
- Cross-sectional area of the column
Answer
The correct answer is: C) Magnitude of eccentricity
Explanation
The amount of eccentricity, and the distance between the centroid of the cross-section and the force being applied, has an important effect on the column's resulting stress.
