engineering recuitment WBMSC Sub Assistant Engineer Civil Mock Test 2023 Strength of Materials Columns
A short column of the symmetric cross-section is subjected to an eccentric vertical compressive load P at an eccentricity āeā.
To avoid tensile stress in the short column, the eccentricity āeā should be
1
\(e \le \frac{h}{6}\)
2
\(e \ge \frac{h}{6}\)
3
\(e \le \frac{h}{3}\)
4
\(e \ge \frac{h}{3}\)
