The failure of column depends upon

The failure of column depends upon Correct Answer Slenderness ratio

The slenderness ratio is taken in different directions but the direction in which the moment of inertia is minimum gives maximum slenderness ratio as the radius of gyration will be minimum in such case.

  • Slenderness is dependent on the dimensions of the column
  • More the slenderness ratio, more is the tendency of the column to fail by buckling effect in that direction


Hence, the failure of the column depends upon the slenderness ratio of the column.
