What is the primary difference between axially and eccentrically loaded joints?
💡 Hint: Recall the definitions we discussed.
True or False: Eccentric loads do not create any moments.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A steel frame has an eccentrically loaded joint subjected to a 60 kN force applied 300 mm from the centroid. Calculate the resulting moment about the centroid and the shear force on that joint.
💡 Hint: Use the concept of moments and shear forces we covered.
You are tasked to design a joint for a beam experiencing combined forces: a central axial load of 40 kN and a moment of 10 kNm due to eccentricity. How do you approach the checks for this joint?
💡 Hint: Analyze the loads separately and then combine them for a full assessment.
