I think it should be E.

Ramanareddy said:   9 years ago
e < d/6 = there is no tension failure.

Jwala said:   9 years ago
Overall kern zone lies in one-third dimension for square and rectangle so d/6 or b/6 on every side on center.

Denzil said:   9 years ago
I agree and the correct option is E.

SHRAVAN said:   8 years ago
Answer E. The Correct answer e<b/6.

Deb said:   8 years ago
It is given range. So it will be 1/3 rd "Middle third rule".

For rectangular column.

limit of eccentricity=z/a ,z=bd3/12*d/2.
A=b*d.
:For rectangular column, e=d/6.
For circular column, e=d/8(by z/A).

Please give the correct answer.

ANSWER: E. One-sixth of the base on either side of the centroid.

MIDDLE THIRD RULE FOR RECTANGULAR SECTION The range within which the load may be applied so as not to produce tensile stress anywhere in the section is within the middle third of depth Limiting eccentricity 6/40.

For avoid tensile stresses eccentricity < b/6.
