While designing eccentrically compressed components, it is necessary to judge variable eccentric compression conditions firstly. Quite lots of textbooks and special books regard eccentric distance as the basis to judge variable eccentric compression conditions. By analyzing all of the factors which will affect the eccentric distance limits of eccentric compression for rectangular cross-sections in this paper, it is believed that the eccentric distance can not be taken as the basis of eccentric compression, otherwise it will make engineers, technici...
