Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A column that is 3m tall has a moment of inertia of 0.0003 m⁴ and an applied load of 15,000 N with a 0.2 m eccentricity. Calculate the total stress in the column.
💡 Hint: Remember to find A using the total height and assume a circular cross-section.
Question 2
Discuss the implications of not considering eccentric loading in a column design. What could happen?
💡 Hint: Consider real-life structural failures and their causes.
