Q: Which of the following assumptions is NOT valid in case of design of axially loaded compression members in the steel design?
  • A. The modulus of elasticity is assumed to be constant in a built-up column.
  • B. The ideal column is assumed to be absolutely straight with no crookedness.
  • C. The modulus of elasticity is assumed to vary in a built-up column.
  • D. Secondary stresses are neglected.
Correct Answer: Option C - The following assumptions are in the case of design of axially loaded compression members in the steel design – (1) The modules of elasticity is assumed to be constant in a built -up column. (2) The ideal column is assumed to be absolutely straight with no crookedness. (3) Secondary stresses are neglected.
