Which risk increases when concrete column’s radius of slenderness exceeds allowable limit?

💡 Explanation

When slenderness ratio exceeds the limit, elastic instability occurs because the column becomes more susceptible to lateral deflection under axial compression, initiating buckling. Therefore buckling is the main risk, rather than shearing, crushing, or torsion which demand different stress conditions and loading scenarios.
