← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a constrained slender concrete column develops significant bowing?
A)Reduced critical buckling load✓
B)Enhanced tensile rebar strength
C)Increased compressive force capacity
D)Improved shear stress distribution
💡 Explanation
Reduced critical buckling load increases because column bowing induces bending moments. The **Euler buckling** theory dictates inverse proportionality between buckling resistance and bow; therefore, compressive failure is more probable, rather than enhanced tensile strength, under increased bending stress across sections.
