Question

To avoid tension in a short column the load must be

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Less than object

Answer 2

Answer:

To avoid tension in short column the load must be lie within b/6 or h/6 that means eccentricity should be less than or equal to b/6 or d/6.

No tension condition

1. If the load acting on column is within the middle third of the column portion then there will no tension on column.

2. If tension acts on failure it will cause buckling failure.

3. Middle third portion is different for different cross sectional area.

4. For rectangle and square the area of middle third area is within b/4 and d/4.

5. For circle middle third portion is of diameter d/8.
