Statement (I): A circular cross section column with diameter ‘d’ is to be axially loaded in compression. For this the core of the section is considered to be a concentric circulation area of diameter $\frac{d}{4}$.
Statement (II): We can drill and take out a cylindrical volume of material with diameter in order to make the column lighter and still maintaining the same buckling (crippling) load carrying capacity. d4
