Limit of eccentricity for hollow rectangular section

>>Along breath
Let consider a column is subjected to compressive load ‘P’ having hollow cross section with external dimensions ‘B x D’ and internal ‘b x d’ as shown in fig. 6.a.
Let,
σ0= Direct stress;
σb = Bending stress;
P = Applied load (compressive or tensile);
A = Cross-sectional area 
A= (B x D) - (b x d);
M = Bending Moment acting on column 
M= P.eyy;
eyy = Eccentricity w.r.t. Y-axis;
Iyy = Moment of inertia of column section along Y-axis 

ymax = Max. centroidal distance;


Now, for no tension condition;






This eccentricity when load ‘P’ on right side of Y-axis. Similarly eccentricity on left side of Y-axis

Therefore total width of eccentricity at middle portion of section

>>Along thickness
As eccentricity calculates in breath same way we can find eccentricity along thickness. It becomes 

Total width of eccentricity at middle portion of section

For rectangular hollow section width of Kernel Section is as shown in fig.6.b.
