Q1:

For design of a column the eccentricity of loading shall be taken as the distance from the assumed point of application of the load to the centroid of the column, subject to a minimum of

A 10 mm

B 20 mm

C 30 mm

D 40 mm

E 50 mm

ANS:E - 50 mm

@All

Who are all saying 20mm is the answer, please note that 20mm is the minimum criteria above which a column is considered eccentric in X or Y.

However, when you go to design a column, you have to adopt a higher value of 50mm for a safer design consideration.
