Which outcome occurs when buckling load exceeds limit?

💡 Explanation

When the buckling load surpasses a critical threshold, the column rapidly undergoes catastrophic structural failure due to elastic instability, specifically Euler buckling, because any small disturbances precipitate collapse; therefore, catastrophic failure occurs rather than slower yielding or shear distribution under increasing compression.
