← TechnologyWhich buckling risk dramatically increases when compressive load eccentricity increases in steel columns?
A)Torsional buckling resistance decreases
B)Local buckling flange instability grows
C)Global buckling effective length grows✓
D)Lateral-torsional stiffness gains significance
💡 Explanation
Increased eccentricity amplifies bending moments throughout column length; because the effective length in Euler's buckling formula increases, global buckling resistance decreases; therefore, global buckling governs, rather than local flange buckling under axial compression.
