(a) Explain FIVE (5) factors that may influence the optimum column design under an axial compressive load. (b) A 3.6 m long pin-ended column is formed from an A-36 steel circular hollow section with an outer diameter of 75 mm. Determine the minimum thickness, t (to the nearest integer in mm) of the circular hollow section so that the column can safely support the load of 200 kN without buckling. If the outer diameter of the steel circular hollow section is reduced to 62 mm and the ends are pinned-fixed supported, analyse whether the column with the same applied load and the sectional thickness computed above will cause a buckling failure.
