(b) For an eccentrically loaded column, the mid-span transverse deflection can be given by, 8= e sec 0.5 LV(PIED), where symbols carry their usual meanings. Using the above equation, (i) explain how the buckling load can be determine (ii) derive the expression of maximum compressive stress in the column.
