Consider the following statements about a rectangular column subjected to eccentric loading about its breadth. Identify the correct statement(s). Statement I: If direct stress is greater than bending stress, stress throughout the section will be tensile. Statement II: If direct stress = bending stress, maximum stress = 2 × direct stress. Statement III: If direct stress is less than bending stress, stress throughout the section will be partly compressive and partly tensile.
