@Dileep.

Load acts outside of the centroid.

What is eccentric load?

Mohit Kumar said:   1 decade ago
When eccentric load acts on column it causes bending moment also which produces tension on one side and compression on other side. The net stress at any point is given by algebraic sum of stress due to bending and due to axial force.
