Question 1
What is the primary function of axial forces in a column?
- To resist bending
- To transfer loads
- To provide thermal resistance
💡 Hint: Consider how columns interact within a structure.
Question 2
T/F: Axial forces can only be tensile.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about how they act under different load conditions.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a column that needs to support an axial load of 150 kN, considering safety factors and material properties.
💡 Hint: Factor in a safety margin based on the calculated loads.
Question 2
Analyze a frame with unequal loading on girders leading to differing axial forces in columns. Describe your approach to equilibrium equations.
💡 Hint: Think about how vertical loads shift as you analyze each girder.
