Consider the following statements regarding a rectangular column subjected to eccentric compressive 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 equals bending stress, maximum stress equals 2 × direct stress. Statement III: If direct stress is less than bending stress, stress throughout the section will be partly compressive and partly tensile.
