The load application on a circular column affects stress. If it is under D/4 the stress will be wholly compressive.

D/4 is the Right answer.

There will be both side d/8+d/8, hence the value of eccentricity in no tension is d/4.

D/8 (circular) on side of the center point.
Total core will be d/8+d/8 = d/4 (middle fourth).

D/6 (rectangular) on one side of center point.
Say total length d/6+d/6=d/3 (middle third).

The core or kernel of the circular cross-section of dia, D is a circle of dia.(d4/d6/d8).

Superb @Teja.

Thanks @Teja.

this rule is called middle fourth rule.

1. For rectangular columns, the kern/core is rhombus( middle third rule).
2. For circular column the kern/core is circular (middle fourth rule).

The eccentricity is D/8. Hence total on either side gives the diameter for the kern.
= D/8 + D/8 = D/4.

e l/8.
Load within l/4.

Diameter = d/8.
Radius = r/4.

Piyush said:   8 years ago
It should be d/8.
