A short post, 150 mm by 150 mm, of Douglas fir, is reinforced by the addition of two ASTM A36 steel plates. The cross section is shown. Assume the x components are of equal lengths and are connected so that they act as a single unit and deform equally. Use the nominal dimensions of the wood, as shown and compute the allowable compressive load. Allowable compressive stress for the steel is 146 MPa and allowable compressive stress for the wood 7.24 MPa. Note: the modulus of elasticity for steel is 207,000 MPa and the modulus of elasticity of Douglas fir is 12,000 MPa. Steel plate 150 mm x 10 mm (typ.) Timber post 150 mm X 150 mm
