Which failure outcome occurs when sustained eccentric loading bends a steel column beyond capacity?

💡 Explanation

Eccentric loading creates bending moments exceeding the column's section modulus, initiating structural instability via the **Euler buckling** effect, because the initial deflection amplifies the stress, therefore deformation increases before total collapse rather than elastic recovery as hypothesized with axial only distributions.
