hi all,
gang chen's practice exam has this question - pls see attachment.
the answer is C (column c takes most load), but i don't understand his explanation on this. his explanation is that column c is the shortest so it needs to be the"stiffest".
but would it not be column B because it takes on the load of half of the existing building and half of the new addition?
anyone who can help, please kindly explain.
thank you!
