Eccentric loading on column is defined as when the load operating on the column is offset from the centroid of the column, then it settles the bending of column in conjunction with the axial stress. It also occurs with continuous beams over a column or wind loading.

What is meaning eccentrically loaded column?

Eccentric loading on column. When the load acting on the column is offset from the centroid of the column, then it establishes the bending of column along with the axial stress. This offset loading of the column is referred as eccentric loading.

What is eccentrically loaded footing?

Normal footing becomes eccentrically load footing when there is an eccentricity in the loading or when there is a bending moment at the connection of footing and the column. The eccentricity could be in one direction or in both directions.
