Gentlemen, This task I think has a trick. I Red that metal is there for reinforcement only, it does not bear the load, concrete does. But the way this question is asked suggests that it is composite material soathe stress and strain of concrete and metal will be different. How then to answer this question correctly? Thanks... Concrete column with 4 steel rods 40 mm diam each. Size of column is 0.6m. Load is 40 tones. E of concrete can be taken as 40 GPA. Find: 1. Stress in the concrete 2. Stress in the rods 3. Strain in concrete 4. Strain in rods 5. Stored energy in the column

4. Strain in rods
5. Stored energy in the column
Note:
Hi! Thank you for the question, As per the honour code, we are allowed to answer three sub-parts at a time so we are answering the first three as you have not mentioned which of these you are looking for. Please re-submit the question separately for the remaining sub-parts.
Given data:
size of column 0.6 m
4 steel rods 40 mm diameter each
Compressive load= 40 tones
Ec=40 GPa
AS Es is not given Assuming Es= 200GPa
Step by step
Solved in 4 steps
