Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A column has an effective length of 4 m and is subject to an axial load of 30 kN applied 0.3 m off-center. Calculate the total stress at the top and bottom surfaces, with a moment of inertia of 0.0015 m^4.
💡 Hint: Ensure you correctly apply the formula for calculating stress considering eccentricity.
Question 2
If a column is designed to support loading of 100 kN at an eccentricity of 0.2 m, evaluate how this loading condition affects its design considerations and explain why correct material choice and geometry are crucial.
💡 Hint: Consider the importance of balancing both axial and bending stresses in your reasoning.
