Which structural consequence results when excessive eccentric loading occurs in a concrete bridge column?

💡 Explanation

Eccentric loading generates a bending moment in the column, exceeding its design capacity, because compressive and tensile forces are unevenly distributed, leading to early rebar buckling, therefore, reducing the column’s lifespan, rather than enhancing strength.
