Understanding Eccentric Loads on Columns by vipul is a document available to read on EtoBox.
An eccentric load is a load that is applied to a structural member at a point other than its centroid. This causes both compressive stresses from the axial load as well as bending stresses. Columns can fail due to either crushing, when the material is overloaded in compression, or buckling, a stability failure that occurs for slender columns under an eccentric or axial load. The maximum stress in a column under an eccentric load can be calculated using the secant formula, which depends on factors like the l
