State the limit of eccentricity of load for rectangular and circular sections.

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the permissible limit or acceptable range of eccentricity for loads applied on rectangular and circular cross-sections. It involves concepts of structural engineering and load distribution.

Answer

Rectangular: b/6 from centroid; Circular: d/8 of diameter

For a rectangular section, the limit of eccentricity is b/6 in both directions from the centroid. For a circular section, the limit is d/8 of the diameter.

Answer for screen readers

For a rectangular section, the limit of eccentricity is b/6 in both directions from the centroid. For a circular section, the limit is d/8 of the diameter.

More Information

The limits of eccentricity ensure that the resulting stresses in the sections do not cause tension, which can jeopardize structural integrity.

Tips

A common mistake is misapplying the limit to other shapes or not using the correct dimension in calculations.
