Which of the following is not a parameter for decrease in strength of slender member?

residual stress

seismic load

initial lack of straightness

variation of material properties

Correct Answer : Option (B) : seismic load

Explanation : The decrease in strength of slender member is due to following parameter : imperfections- initial lack of straightness, accidental eccentricities of loading, residual stress, and variation of material properties over the cross section.
