Minimum Eccentricity evaluator uses Minimum Eccentricity = (Effective Length of Column/500)+(Least Lateral Dimension/30) to evaluate the Minimum Eccentricity, The Minimum Eccentricity formula is defined as the shortest distance from the center of gravity of the column section to the center of gravity of the applied load. In order to ensure the safety of the column we should consider a minimum value of eccentricity. Minimum Eccentricity is denoted by emin symbol.
