← TechnologyWhich mechanism significantly reduces buckling in tall, slender concrete columns?
A)Increased lateral bracing stiffness✓
B)Decreased concrete aggregate size
C)Reduced axial load eccentricity
D)Greater longitudinal rebar spacing
💡 Explanation
Increased lateral bracing stiffness prevents lateral displacement and thus increases the critical buckling load, because the Euler buckling formula demonstrates its inverse relationship with effective length; therefore, bracing stops bending rather than altered composition.
