43.
The region of the cross-section of a column in which compressive load may be applied without producing any tensile stress, is known as the core of the cross-section. In circular columns the radius of the core, is
one-half of the radius
one-third of the radius
one-quarter of the radius
one-fifth of the radius
one-sixth of the radius.
Answer: Option

The answer is correct because in question asked for the radius of the core so eccentricity itself.

So, e=D/8 therefore the radius of core = r/4.

D/4 is the diameter of the core.
D= 2R
=> 2R/4
= R/2.

So, A is the answer.

Limit of eccentricity for circular column <= 8,
But the core of circular column is d/4 hence radius is r/2 only.
Option A is correct.

Z = I/y= pai x d3 /32.
A = PAI x d2 /4.
So, e = z/A = d/ 8 = r/ 4.

e <= d/8,
e <= 2r/8,
Then e <= r/4.

e<Z/A
Z= π/32 * D^3.
A= π/4 * D^2.

e<= D/8-radius.
Dia D/4.

Should be 1/2 of radius.

Umair Sabeeh Swati said:   7 years ago
KERN core for the circular section is D/4.
As D=2R.
So in term of radius it is R/2.
A is the correct answer.

The middle-third rule states that no tension is developed in a wall or foundation if the resultant force lies within the middle third of the structure. (For circular foundations a different rule, known as the Middle Quarter Rule applies) so core dia will be D/4 abd radius will be D/8.
