Question

If both ends of a column are fixed, then the effective length of the column is

• A. its own length
• B. twice its own length
• C. half of its own length
• D. thrice of its own length

Hint:

Effective length depends on end boundary conditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

For both ends fixed, the effective length \(L_e = \frac{L}{2}\) due to maximum restraint.
