← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when differential settling compromises column footings?
A)Torsional shear stress concentration✓
B)Uniform compressive stress increase
C)Buckling resistance improvement happens
D)Material tensile stiffness increases
💡 Explanation
Torsional shear stress concentration arises because differential settling induces uneven loads on the concrete column footings, creating twisting forces rather than axial compression. Therefore, torsional shear stress occurs, rather than uniform compression or buckling resistance changes under normal conditions.
