Which risk increases when a constrained slender concrete column develops significant bowing?

A)Reduced critical buckling load
B)Enhanced tensile rebar strength
C)Increased compressive force capacity
D)Improved shear stress distribution

💡 Explanation

Reduced critical buckling load increases because column bowing induces bending moments. The **Euler buckling** theory dictates inverse proportionality between buckling resistance and bow; therefore, compressive failure is more probable, rather than enhanced tensile strength, under increased bending stress across sections.
