← TechnologyWhich elevated stress increases in a steel column with inadequate lateral bracing?
A)Euler buckling effective length✓
B)Plastic hinge formation capacity
C)Shear lag reduction efficiency
D)Torsional stiffness equilibrium constant
💡 Explanation
Increased effective length raises stress because Euler buckling is inversely proportional to the square of the effective length resulting in lower critical load, therefore buckling susceptibility becomes significant, rather than other effects relating to material properties.
