← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a column's slenderness ratio increases within Euler buckling constraints?
A)Reduced critical axial load✓
B)Increased shear capacity demand
C)Enhanced tensile stress resistance
D)Improved resistance to torsion
💡 Explanation
Increased slenderness exacerbates Euler buckling because geometrical instability leads to larger deflections under axial load, therefore reducing the column's critical axial load, rather than enhancing any stress resistance, under increased flexural stress.
