← TechnologyWhich structural risk increases when unsupported column height of steel reinforced concrete exceeds design limits?
A)Buckling due to compressive instability✓
B)Shear failure from concentrated loads
C)Torsional stress from eccentric connections
D)Spalling from freeze-thaw cycles
💡 Explanation
When column height exceeds limits, the steel reinforced concrete experiences greater bending moments under load due to geometry, resulting in overall structural instability which occurs because compressive stress exceeds critical threshold, resulting premature collapse called buckling. Therefore buckling results over shear failure, rotation and spalling that require additional mechanisms or different inputs.
