Which consequence results when exceeding the slenderness ratio limit in supporting columns?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding a column's slenderness ratio increases the risk of premature buckling because the Euler buckling mechanism is triggered as instability due to length dominates, therefore, buckling occurs rather than compressive crushing, because the column is slender.
