← TechnologyWhich risk increases when axial load exceeds Euler buckling load for a slender steel column?
A)Onset of torsional deformation✓
B)Reduced compressive strength
C)Increased shear stress at supports
D)Accelerated creep under sustained load
💡 Explanation
When axial load exceeds the Euler buckling load, the column experiences structural instability because lateral deflection initiates and rapidly increases, leading to torsional deformation. Therefore torsional deformation results, rather than compressive strength reduction or increased stresses which depend on different loading modes and material properties.
