A concrete chimney 40m high has a cross sectional area of concrete of 0.125m² and is stayed by three groups of four cables attached to the chimney at height of 15m, 25m, and 35m.if each cables is anchored to the ground at a distance of 20m from the base of the chimney and tensioned to a force of 20KN. Calculate the maximum stress in the chimney and the shortening of the chimney including the effect of its own weight. Density if Concrete = 2400kg/m3 Young modulus E = 2000N/mm²
