Eccentricity (e)
The distance between axis of member and point of
application of load is called as ‘Eccentricity’.
It is denoted by ‘e’.
It is denoted by ‘e’.
In fig.1.a column is
subjected to load ‘P’ at the center of column (long the axis of member)
therefore eccentricity equals to zero. In this case column is subjected to
direct stress only.
In fig.1.b column is
subjected to load ‘P’ at away from the center of column (does not long the axis
of member) therefore distance between center of column and point of application
of load is called eccentricity ‘e’.
Eccentric distance form
X axis denoted as ‘ex’ and eccentric distance form Y axis denoted as
‘ey’.
In this case(fig.1.b) column is
subjected to direct stress and bending stress.
