QUESTION 3 A 300mm x 100mm channel section is used as a short vertical column. The column is to carry a vertical compressive load of 500kN acting on the XX axis at a distance of 25mm from the centroid of the section in the direction of the web. Make a clear sketch indicating all important and relevant information. Calculate the greatest stress induced in the column section, indicating Tensile or Compressive.
