Question

Secant formula is applicable for

• A. Short columns under axial loading
• B. Long columns under axial loading
• C. Short columns under eccentric loading
• D. Long columns under eccentric loading

Hint:

Column formulas: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Euler Formula} &\rightarrow \text{Long columns (axial load)} \text{Rankine Formula} &\rightarrow \text{Intermediate columns} \text{Secant Formula} &\rightarrow \text{Long columns with eccentric load} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
