A column of circular section has 150 mm dia and 3m length. Both ends of the column are fixed. The column carries a load of 100 KN at an eccentricity of 15 mm from the geometrical axis of the column. Find the maximum compressive stress in the column section. Find also the maximum permissible eccentricity to avoid tension in the column section. E = 1 x 105 N/mm2
