← ScienceWhich risk increases because of inertial-gravitational equivalence in tall buildings?
A)Cumulative column compression failure✓
B)Increased convective heat transfer
C)Elevated base metal corrosion rates
D)Resonance during seismic events
💡 Explanation
Because of inertial-gravitational equivalence, the building's overall weight cumulatively compresses the lower columns via axial loading rather than uniform stress. Therefore, the columns are prone to failure, rather than enhanced heat or corrosion mechanisms.
