Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What does P represent in the total stress equation?

πŸ’‘ Hint: It is the force acting along the length of the column.

Question 2

Easy

Define eccentric loading in terms of structural columns.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about where the load is applied in relation to the center of the column.

Question 1

What does the total stress equation account for?

  • Only axial load
  • Axial and eccentric loads
  • Eccentric load only

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the components of the stress equation.

Question 2

True or False: Eccentric loading only influences axial stress.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what eccentricity adds to the analysis.

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.

πŸ’‘ 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?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider real-life structural failures and their causes.
