ρ EI
Where M is the internal bending moment acting on a
section, E is the modulus of elasticity and I is the
moment of inertia of the section.
Positive ρ means the positive y-axis is on the
concave side of the neutral axis.

I
Where M is the internal bending moment acting on a
section, y is the distance of a point (fiber) from the
neutral axis and I is the moment of inertia of the
section.

The way empty cans fail.
Compressive stresses
are spread evenly
over the entire width
of the joint
Compression structures
What if P is eccentric?
Compressive
stresses are no longer
uniform.
Stress will vary
linearly across the
width of the
column/wall if the
material is Hookean.
Whole joint is still in
compression.
Compression structures
P is now at the edge of the middle third of the
column/wall.
Stress at the outside
edge of the wall is
zero.
We still have
compressive forces
across the entire
width of the
column/wall.
Compression structures
P is outside of the middle third of the
column/wall.
The outside edge of
the wall is now in
tension.
But mortar cannot
carry tension
stresses!
What will happen?
Compression structures
The column/wall cracks.
