Which risk increases when unsupported structural steel columns exceed their critical buckling load?

💡 Explanation

When unsupported columns exceed their critical buckling load, torsional buckling initiates because the column section twists, leading to geometric instability. Therefore torsional failure results, rather than brittle facture, corrosion or direct yielding, which depend on different material properties or loading conditions.
