Question

An axially loaded column of size 360 mm $\times$ 360 mm is having effective length of 3.2 m. The minimum eccentricity of the axial load for the column is _____ mm

• A. 20

Answer 1

The correct option is A 20
Minimum eccentricity
$=\frac{L}{500}+\frac{B}{30}$ or 20 mm whichever is maximum

$=\frac{3200}{500}+\frac{360}{30}=18.4mm\&20mm$

So minimum eccentricity $=20mm$
