Which of the following is true about beam-column?

Civil Engineering : Steel Structure Design - Quiz(MCQ)

net end moments are zero

member subjected to bending moment

member subjected to axial force only

member subjected to axial force and bending moment

Correct Answer : member subjected to axial force and bending moment

Explanation : If the net end moments are not zero, the member will be subjected to axial force and bending moments along its length. Such members are called beam-columns.
