Which risk increases when thermal expansion constraints exceed column yield strength?

💡 Explanation

Buckling instability rises because restrained thermal expansion induces compressive stresses, exceeding the column's critical load via Euler's formula. Therefore, buckling is more likely, rather than immediate shear failure, which requires direct transverse force.
