When vertical load on the column is not coincide with center of gravity of column cross section and does not act on either axis (X and Y axis), then the column is called biaxially eccentric loaded column.
Load Acting Eccentric to Both Axes
If the axial load P is placed at a point (ex, ey) eccentric to both x-axis and y-axis as shown in Figure, then the system can be assumed to consist of
(i) a direct compressive force P acting at the centroid,
(ii) a couple(Bending Moment) P x ey, about the x-axis and
(iii) a couple P x ex, about the y-axis.
The moment of P about these axes are respectively.
Mx = P.ey and My= P.ex
As seen for the case of load acting eccentric to one axis, the stress at any point can be written as
σ = σa + σbx + σby
σ = P/A + Mx/Zx + My/Zy
The maximum or minimum fiber stress will occur at the corner point A, B, C or D in the given figure.
If the load is in first quadrant ie. ex and ey are +ve, then the stresses will be calculated as below
σ = σa + σbx + σby
σA = σa + σbx - σby
σB = σa - σbx - σby
σC = σa - σbx + σby
σD = σa + σbx + σby
