Which risk increases when concentrated load exceeds design limits on a concrete column?

💡 Explanation

When compressive load exceeds limits, Euler buckling occurs because slender columns are unstable under axial loads, resulting in a sudden lateral deflection and collapse. Therefore, buckling risk increases, rather than shear failure, corrosion, or creep which depend on different stress directions or time-dependent effects.
