Q: When a compression member fails at buckling load, the failure of member is caused due to....
  • A. bearing and elongation
  • B. crushing only
  • C. crushing and bending
  • D. bending only
Correct Answer: Option D - Buckling– Buckling is the phenomenon by which a medium or long column fails by a combination of bending and compression. As the axial load is increased, the columns to buckle or bend.
